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 understand this, if they are going to call a penalty anytime a Defender grazes a guy's helmet the game will not be fun to watch.

The fans have been screaming for the refs to let the players play already. This will not help the game if this is the case.
