Chicago Bears safety Brandon Meriweather has said he will change the way he plays the game, after receiving $45,000 in fines the past two weeks.  Meriweather was fined another $50,000 last season for both late hits and helmet-to-helmet contact.

“Apparently I need to fix something if (the NFL) is concerned about my hits,” Meriweather said.

“Eventually, if you get enough fines, you’re going to end up getting kicked out the league. For me to continue to do something I love, I just have to change the way I play.”

Bears coaches have asked him to modify the way he plays.  “Everybody told me that,” he said.

“People have told me before that I had to change my ways. I’ve been trying. It’s just something you can’t do overnight.”
