[QUOTE="realcaliforniacheese, post: 486155, member: 4943"] To maintain good skills and technique in any discipline requires constant practice and improvement. You cannot practice and correct tackling issues, angles, positioning..... during the game. It requires full speed padded tackling in practice and that has been severely limited. I don't aree that the change in hitting practices it the best thing. Poor hitting can cause injury. Right now what you see happening is because ref's are so quickly calling helmet to helmet, even when a guy makes a textbook hit to the chest and his head slides up while the other guys head goes down. Defenders are starting to lower there heads before tackling and this is going to start leading to some bigger issues. I agree with not using the helmet as a weapon and launching. I also think if they were so concerned about injury they would protect defensive players from cut blocks. [/QUOTE]
