Football as we know it is Over

[jj22]

I'm just pointing out it's a significant change. They talked about how coaches don't like it because it means they now have to change who they dress with the fear of evictions it will lead to (on total access). We theoretically could lose both safety's given how Iloka and Williams hit. They said there will be a lot of meeting about this in the coming months because of the difficulty of officiating it (you thought the catch rule was hard).

I'm for rules stopping helmet to helmet hits etc, but this rule forces you to take your head/helmet out of the equation completely, and that's hard to avoid. That's significant.

How many players lower their head while tackling naturally? Are taught to see what they hit (tackle with the face mask up).

And what about aiming the helmet on the ball to cause a fumble? That's illegal now too. It's significant.

Maybe you guys aren't thinking it through. Taking the head/helmet out of the game sounds good. And the intention is good. But it's not going to be easy. And it does change the game.
