I tend to agree with Emmitt.  While I hate to see head injuries this is going to leave the ball carriers defenseless against the safeties flying in for hits.

2015....the QB's will have flags on their waist and you just have to pull it for a sack.

Well I guess Marshawn Lynch can't touch the ball now.

You're wrong... the end had begun awhile ago... but this would certainly further it.

Two hand touch.

Flags can get caught and the QBs could accidentally get thrown to the ground.

The Rules Committee has also announced certain changes to NFL uniforms intended to promote safety and reduce the chance of injury.

Is that a shirtless Vince Wilfork?

 Not to mention the inherent choking hazard that flags present.

2018.....all players will be required to sit out every other play. If they are involved in a tackle (tackler or the tackled) they must sit out 3 plays.

Lineman must also keep their hands behind their backs at all times and D-line must count to 5-Mississippi before rushing.

He'd dominate in sumo. He's as big as they are but he's actually got more muscle in his legs. Sumo is ceremonial far more than actual skill/strength.

The rule makes sense in the new era of the NFL. Why would it be ok for ball carriers to lead with their head and not defenders?

Because they are leaving themselves vulnerable to even bigger hits if they don't lower their head?

Our grocery store has a sandwich named after him. We split this 3 ways and have leftovers if we get one:

So believe it or not, it's possible to lower your pad level without leading with the head.

Mrbbrad, how?

I disagree with the presumption that it's the same thing. Defensive players aren't going to be caught off-guard by a running back with the ball driving their helmet into their ear hole.

If he's carrying the ball, he's the #1 target on the field and should be able to protect himself even if it means laying the lumber on the defensive player trying to kill him.

I've been on both sides of those hits. They're nothing compared to a hit on a defenseless player.
