Hey don't you touch the qb's head either! Oh and by the way, those receivers coming over the middle that you're suppose to dislodge the ball from; yeah, you can't hit them too hard either.
NFL: taking the tackle out of tackle football...
I don't want to see someone lose a career to head injuries. I've had two diagnosed concussions and probably two more undiagnosed that I had my "bell rung". But it's a contact sport and if you hammer someone and not intentionally going for their head then let em play. The NFL has just got too involved with trying to keep up with the high scoring of the College game and trying to bring that excitement to the NFL. Everyone complained about the Ravens SB team and how they had no offense but that doesn't mean you have to take the defense out of the game. They want you to score but better not celebrate those TD's you're getting!
Just like CFB, they move the kickoff up and bring the touchback out another 5 yards for safety but got rid of the HALO rule on punts.
So let me get this straight, you have guys on kickoffs who are 95% of the time able to catch a ball on a kickoff and run with it and deem that unsafe but get rid of the rule that keeps the guy standing by himself waiting for a ball to come down and getting hammered as soon as the ball touches his hands?
Safety... Yeah right...
This is also the league that promotes big hits on videos but fines them out of the sake of safety. The PA complains about the league not caring about their safety but appeals a fine or suspension that a player gets for giving such hit...
