2018 Rule Changes - First Impressions

His head wasn't snapped back. It was compressed, that's dangerous. If it had been more flexed it would have been more dangerous. Heads snapped back look worse than they are.

which post? LOL Breath buddy, we will get this right.

I did find it in post #45

Yes, this is what you and I have been referring too. This silly new rule will not prevent head/neck injuries like the one Collins sustained. As a matter of fact, it may create situations like that. Did you notice Collins had his head up, not down. With the new rule, Players may try to keep their heads up while tackling, now this may protect the runner more, but what does it do to the guy that has his head and body snapped back because he didn't duck?

I took a shot to the head today. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

It's a mess. The rule, not my head. To add insult to injury, pun intended, though it's the least of the concerns on that play, Collins could be flagged for 15 yards.

The really bad ones do seem to be the compression hits.
