is to give coaches an incentive to ensure that players are wearing them properly. If the helmet is strapped correctly, it shouldn’t come off. Players are wearing them far too loosely. And if a coach has to worry that he could end up losing a player on a key down because their helmet came off, they’re going to be sure that everyone has it on properly.

Is the ref gonna try and tackle the player? I understand that players running around w/o a helmet is dangerous but how often do you see a player get injured after continuing to play after his helmet comes off? Good luck getting the ball carrier to stop running if his helmet comes off. Making a player sit out the next play if his helmet comes off is ridiculous. If they do manage to pass that rule in some degree it needs to be the 2nd time a particular player has his helmet come off.

many of us would love to see common sense changes to the game that do not turn it into flag football. there are ways to change the game that actually make it more manly than it is now. getting rid of cut blocks (which can be just as dangerous as high/low chop blocks) would be a great development. block me up high like a man, dont dive at my knees like a wuss. if you cannot even attempt to beat me 1 on 1, and your method has a good chance of hurting me, i have no respect for you, and i dont think you are worth the scholarship they are giving you. the sad part is that coaches like Paul Johnson teach this nonsense.

there are many ways of changing the game, but still keeping it a man’s game that includes big hits and big plays.
