Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Hines Ward, who says he's "not going to change my game based off" of the "Hines Ward" rule, doesn't know why defensive players don't like to get knocked on their ass. Or have their jaws broken, for that matter. "Defensive players, they hate it," Ward said of his playing style.
