Uggghhh, this is going to cause so many problems. Everytime a safety lowers a shoulder and grazes someone with his helmet it's going to be a potential call.UOK wrote:@NFLprguy

This is about leading with the crown of the helmet. Not about lowering your shoulder, head up. If the red can see your face mask, it shouldn’t be a foul.RustyTrubisky wrote:Uggghhh, this is going to cause so many problems.

NFL owners passed a rule to eliminate the requirement that teams kick an extra point or go for two after a score at the end of regulation. There is no reason now to clear the field and pull players out of the locker room for a meaningless kneel-down.
