Free-agent safety Rodney Harrison, a guest on the Dan Patrick Show this morning, tore into the NFL's new rules.

Here are some of his comments, from dp.com:

"It's crazy. You've been taught since you were six and seven years old to finish the play."

"Football is supposed to be a man's sport."

"The game is going to slow down and it's going to get softer."

"It's like patty-cake right now."

** Harrison doesn't think that Tom Brady thought Bernard Pollard put a dirty hit on him. "I feel like Tom is a second-effort guy," Harrison said. "He's a guy who doesn't give up on plays."

** Harrison says the one rule they should get rid of is the chop block. Harrison doesn't mind if Hines Ward hits a guy up high. Harrison just doesn't like the low hits.

** Harrison said he couldn't change the way he played. Harrison said he had been taught that way and doing it forever.

** Harrison said at this point in time he's a free agent. He said he's going to decide what he's going to do in the next couple of months.

** Harrison said Brady is one of the slowest quarterbacks in the NFL. But he says Brady is a better QB than Peyton Manning.
