I've seen huge hits from Baltimore's Bernard Pollard this season (and throughout his career), as well as Oakland's Tyvon Branch but wanted to gauge PSD's opinion on the NFL's hardest hitter. Videos would be ideal and I would like to keep it within a time frame of the past two to three seasons. For me Pollard is the most violent hitter in the game. I've caught a few of the Ravens' games this season and it seems as though he has no regard for his own personal safety. What he has lacked in coverage throughout his career he makes up for violent game-changing hits. He seems to have found his niche in Baltimore's scheme as Reed's uncanny coverage skills fully allow Pollard to provide an impact in the 'box'.

*I'd like to keep this within the framework of legal hits, although, even if a penalty was called on the play and it indeed was a legal hit we should welcome it.
