First ejection due to the new helmet rule:

Seahawks/Colts Preseason week 1.

That didn't work out. Ejections are going to be on the rise and human thumbs are going to get larger.

So they want the players to keep their heads up. More grill on grill action. Can't say how a player going full speed can manage it and still deliver a meaningful hit.

Guys will adapt i guess. If it makes the game safer i am all for it.

If you want to damn near eliminate concussions from head hits take away the helmets. Ever play tackle football on an un-organized level? No helmets. No concussions.

If safer is the goal play soccer. Sure can't watch it. I don't believe anyone has ever been hurt playing soccer other than a few guys I hurt in the only soccer league I ever participated in. And they weren't even hurt. They just rolled around on the ground for a few minutes crying.

Yea I played plenty of backyard football and never had a helmet on. I never had a concussion but then I never played against an Aaron Donald.

Is this a serious comment? I can’t tell.

That must be the point. However I can see more neck injuries keeping the head out of alignment with the spine.

Anybody watching the end of the Vikes/Jags game? There was a sack on the Jags QB that clearly looked like a clean play and they called roughing the passer. If this is what is going to happen during the regular season there is going to be a big problem. Especially when a team loses a game because of it.
