Soko Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Wait, this can’t be it, right? Meaning half the tackles in the league are “initiated” with the helmet - not necessarily where the force is coming from, but when guys are lowering their pad level (a necessary aspect of football) then the head inevitably gets lowered. Its often the first point of contact. Those can’t all be flags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be silly, the NFL has stated they won't add a targeting rule, this rule is nothing like that, except for the punishable action and the potential consequences being the same.

kramxel Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 RIP all RBs.... especially the so-called "bruiser backs". Might as well retire after something stupid like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I feel like there needs to be some context or follow up questions here. Where on the field are you seeing the helmet-to-helmet contact? Is it because you've been actively looking at it recently? Is there some sort of comparison baseline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they specifically trying to get rid of a Ryan Shazier like tackle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we’d get about 4-5 test cases out of the way. Although with the Burfict suspension.... game will probably be “randomly” scheduled to week 5.

dtait93 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Clean hit. Hit him square in the chest with the shoulder. But because it looks bad due to his head being lowered, and it can't be reviewed (stupid).....EJECTION! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucsfan333 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I don't know how you can make such a change that results in potential ejections and NOT make it reviewable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
