It was already illegal to lead with the helmet so why make another rule isolating the "crown"?
Run with head up. See what's hitting you. Tackle with head up. See what you are hitting.

Talked 2 Texans owner Bob McNair on crown of helmet rule. Says game should be played as when he grew up and was taught 2 "Kiss the numbers."

This will be interesting to say the least. More reasons to throw flags. Game will be 7 hours long.
They are still having trouble with the defenseless receiver sh!t... doubt they'll get this right for some time.
But the networks get more commercials in that way if the games are 7 hours long. .
I thought they were worried Al Harris was going to hurt Peterson?
They've lost their cotton-pickin mind
Just what we need. More passing. Less running

@MattForte22: ...last time I checked football was a contact sport. Calling bank now to set up my lowering the boom fund.
Great quote from Forte
either learn to play with your head up
or
stop suing the NFL.
@adbrandt: Saints bounty discipline, new helmet rule, fines/suspensions all part of new NFL environment. Concussion litigation will do that.

Another way to manipulate games. More selective parenting by the NFLFU.
I also heard the "tuck rule" is going away ? Without the tuck rule and spygate Belicheat isn't such a genius.
The Raiders won that game !!!
Spearing, isn't that what they're are talking about with this rule? And if so just enforce the no spearing rule that IIRC is already in the rule book.
Eric Dickerson has criticized the new helmet rule.
Eric Dickerson is suing the NFL for not disclosing information about the dangers of concussions he suffered from hitting people with the top of his head.
this is what i'm talking about. ya can't do this.

I remember the rap on his was that he ran too upright. I never once saw him lower his head for a few extra yards.
And ironically, many a team avoided "upright/straight-line" running backs for fear if they run too upright they'd be hurt and have shorter shelf lives then RB's already do.
If this new rule sticks, I suspect the opposite will now happen.

Who you calling a cotton picker sucka?
You knew this rule would come about sooner or later. Is the stiff arm still legal? If it is, that's going to the wayside soon enough too.
Wait until you can't touch the quarterback at all... That will go over well.

the stiffarm will never go away. it is legalized facemasking by an offensive player.
so often i see a RB "stiffarm" a would be tackler... but what they are really doing is grasping and dragging on the facemask of the defensive player.
the stiffarm will NEVER go away..........

With me being 5'7 and even shorter during play, my head will be at the chests of most defenders LOL....oh well, shouldn't affect anything

The rule is a RB cannot lower his head (use the crown of the helmet) in the open filed.
Between the tackles they can still do it.
To me the rule make since mow an offensive player cannot spear a defensive player when running at full speed.

Not only that, but it gives moron refs more influence/opportunities to make bad calls in the game.
To hot shot cournerbacks, its wot you do today, wot counts
