I'd rather see a high stick than a high hit. At least you can get new chicklets and they work just the same as the old. Ain't no replacing your brain.

This. Players are going to be vulnerable. Making hits to the head just because their head is down can't be okay.
Does it make it more difficult to make hits? Yes. Too bad. Brain (and neck) injuries are not worth those hits.
No one is ever going to put their head down deliberately "to protect themselves" , it's ridiculous to suggest that could ever be a thing.
