If the players would go back to actually tackling gotta wonder how many concussions there would be?
Butkus and Nitschke were two of the most feared defenders of their time, don't recall either ever leading with their helmet.
There is too much money to be made for the League to kill it's golden goose or for the players to change their ways. Once the revenue stream takes a hit adjustments will be made. Until then it will be business as usual, at least the usual of the past 5 years or so of moving to a safer game.
Hungry5 I completely agree about tackling. I didn't watch the show yet (and I plan on it) but I would bet good money that if tackling was actually taught and not always leading with the head trying to lay out that WOW hit maybe we could see a reduction in concussions. Now I don't believe that you could ever get it out of football there are just too many collisions to completely stop it.
I never agree with anything Ditka says but he was asked about concussions I think it was on Mike and Mike and he said that you can never get rid of it. But, he went on to say "take the helmets off of the players and teach them how to tackle"
Of course i don't think that would ever happen but he does have a point.
