I've thought the same thing. IMO, the call on Kyle Fuller last night in the Broncos' game was ridiculous, as many have been in the preseason.IMHO, NFL refs are making a point.
I think the heads up movement is great. I love that it is starting in youth football. Everyone has their opinion on when boys should start playing tackle. My contention is whether it is as 8,9,10 or 11 year olds, learning proper form before puberty, and having good numbers of kids playing before they get too fast and hit too hard is what will keep this game going. I don’t think there will be any trickle down in terms of this rule. I think that violent but legal hits may get flagged just because the culture has changed. It is unfortunate that great hard hits that don’t injure anyone will fade away for fear of penalty, but it is an evolution that is real. It is a violent game in nature, but more information and clinics like heads up with suburban moms involved, can boost numbers back up and help eliminate chronic and acute head and neck injuries.Not looking to start a concussion thread.
Just curious what the IHSA is informing refs on how to monitor/flag lowering the helmet etc.
Some of these NFL calls this season have been a disaster.
