Having never played the game passed the simple high school level, I can only speak to what I see.
The small levels of football I did play it wiuld be hard to follow the rules they are trying to impliment.
I don't have an answer.
My gut tells me that if you can't handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen. But my brain asks the question "When do we finally become ancient Rome?"
The head to head rule is a good rule if it were judged correctly. Fact is the head is on top of our shoulders. Our eyes are in our head. You can't hit with only the shoulder all the time when you have a big ass helmet on top. Usually the defender curls and the helmet to helmet is a result. If the safety, CB or LB tries to judge the offensive players intention, he will miss a lot of tackles and be replaced.
So then you get what I call the dumbest winner. The guy who is more willing to take the chance, wins. Like that honda accord on the interstate who wants you to race. He is willing to do 100 MPH in a 65 zone to win. You are not. So he wins. He can afford to, or is willing, to get caught. So, he usually wins.
Now you have REAL headhunters out there on Sunday. The scrupulous players won't take the chance, and the dummies will. IMO, you create an even greater risk.
I got no answer. But I know they better step in before the union or the Gov. does.
