This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

if they're going to outlaw these types of tackles by jt

which have been taught as a way to "take the head out of the game" (Hawk tackling by Pete Carrol basically teaches the player to go to the side and use their momentum to the ground to take the player down), I pretty much agree with you.

Now, you pretty much can't touch the qb at all (and in the case of a guy like Mahomes, you can't breathe on him and his OL is allowed to hold every play), you can't hit wr's high over the middle, you can't tackle from the side while leaving your feet (causing more head on collisions), etc.

They create these rules to placate the people who hate football and think it's too dangerous and to cover their ass for potential lawsuits.
