3. Good guys

The best players shouldn't need to bend the rules. The crafty ones know how to avoid detection.

Perennial All-Pro guards Will Shields and Steve Hutchinson each had only two penalties from 2004 through last season, despite ranking first and fourth, respectively, in snaps played by offensive linemen. Hutchinson has zero penalties this season. Shields retired in April.

Cornerbacks always will rank among the most-penalized players. It's the nature of the position, particularly with the league eager to facilitate passing.

Most corners with extensive playing time since 2004 are well into double-digit penalties, but a few have managed to do their job without attracting much heat.

The short list includes Buffalo's Terrence McGee (seven), Miami's Renaldo Hill (seven), New England's Asante Samuel (eight), Minnesota's Antoine Winfield (nine) and Denver's Champ Bailey (10).

It is good to see that our team is playing by the rules. Well except for Cook.

Yet, even with all those penelties your team is still tied for 2nd in the NFL in wins

I'd love to give up that many penelties and still be that good..

The penelties we get seem to screw us over
