K a couple of things.


First of all, how do you deal with head hits where the ball carrier ducks into the play? Running backs and receivers are taught to get pad level low when going into traffic.



How about if the hit starts at chest level and then carries through into the head?


You can't just make a blanket statement like that, I'm all for head safety, I'm especially all for safe tackling, safe contact. But at the same time, then do you eject players that put themselves into jeopardy?
