[QUOTE="toolkien, post: 513613, member: 4637"] I think the injury happened because his head was up and he was trying to tackle the modern "correct" way. If he had had his head down, not in a missile sort of way but simply the old school clean way, he probably doesn't get landed on like he did and the compression wouldn't have occurred. Simply another example of the unintended consequences of changes being made. I could buy when spearing went on the books. And when guys are launching themselves like missiles, but to make ANY helmet contact illegal, and make defensemen have to become experts in mechanical physics before they can attempt to tackle is nonsense (as well as inherently subjective and unevenly applied). In the end, if Collins had made a regular tackle from 10 years ago, and MAYBE risk a little helmet to helmet, he gets up from that play and is still playing today. [/QUOTE]
