yea, saw that, and the NFL has some tough times ahead as it tries to balance safety with screwing around with the rules enough that it removes fan interest and creates unintended consequences like Keller's hit.
Players are just too big and fast to handle the collisions that now exist in the NFL. If you watch ball from the 80's or even 90's the game is so slow compared to now. Further players never practice live anymore which takes away from fundamentals and you can see that on the field now, especially with how they tackle.
I'm also worried that people will start to draw away from the sport as it tries to rid itself of one of the very things that make it popular.
