[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 493621, member: 5830"] They had some good quotes from Jim Brown, saying that he always used his shoulder and his forearm but not his head. I honestly think that most people are overreacting to this issue. If you really watch a power runner such as AP, he rarely lowers his head but really uses his shoulder and hands a lot to create separate after contact. Lowering your head is a virtual guarantee for only 1-2 yards as you both tumble to the ground. Keep your head up and moving in the opposite direction after shoulder contact, and you've got a chance for more yards. This rule isn't changing the game, it's returning it to how the game used to be played. You rarely saw the old guys torpedoing with their helmets. They used stiff-arms (hands), shoulders, and forearms to create contact. [/QUOTE]
