YoloinOhio Posted December 6, 2017 Author Posted December 6, 2017 1 minute ago, Steptide said: What's the cfb's policy? Helmet to helmet hit = targeting. 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.

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.

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.

You are joking?
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! 2 hours ago, Mango said: Thought!

Curious what the data on brain injury suggests from the leather days. 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. 8 hours ago, Donszar said: The only way to stop the NFL players from using their heads as weapons is to remove the helmets from the game.
