If called for targeting, immediately reviewed. If upheld, ejected for rest of game. If ejected in 1st half, can return next game. If ejected in 2nd half, suspended for 1st half of next game.

Expand Yep just to confirm these are two separate rule changes/ considerations. One is to adopt cfb targeting policy, another is to create a “Gronk”category (I hope they name it that) so that punishments for non-football hits are addressed separately.

Expand ...yup, adoption makes sense...if player safety is a goal so be it...if not, safety is a fallacy and that can is kicked down the road until something serious happens.......
Donszar Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 The only way to stop the NFL players from using their heads as weapons is to remove the helmets from the game. Without the protection they'll stop after one or two hits. Think Aussie rules football or Rugby. NFL players have too much body armor.

(My head hurts) What if they moved preseason to this as a precursor to eventually going that direction. I agree, the helmet especially is currently a weapon not a protector. Curious what the data on brain injury suggests from the leather days.

ExiledInIllinois Posted December 7, 2017 Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) Give the opposing team 8 points, clear, no 2pt. PAT... It will stop pretty damn quickly!

Expand Leather helmets protect slightly better from straight impact... Check the study. But where leather adds in cushion, it is a total fail when it comes to getting mamed/facially disfigured. How does it hold a facemask. On 12/7/2017 at 12:30 AM, Donszar said: The only way to stop the NFL players from using their heads as weapons is to remove the helmets from the game.
