It's a significant change that forces arm and shoulder tackles (which means more misses and whiffs). You can't lead with your helmet. Means you cant bend down. Think about how hard that will be.

It's a major change, as stated in the article. It's not just taking out a couple bad plays.

I don't like it. I think it'll be too hard to officiate fairly. Especially if offensive players get low.

I really don't see that working out.  It's a natural human reflex to tuck the chin, when heading into a collision.  I'd say on enforcement, it's going to have more to do with looking up.  There is no way to physically go into a tackle, with the torso heading toward the opponent, and not have the head involved.  

They're going to have to show me some freaky robot videos, in order to convince me otherwise.
