Lets see how in favor some of you here are,when Landry,Alexander,Fletcher,Sellers or even Orakpo are ejected from the game at that instant for a devastating blow on a ball carrier.
There not using "Intent" as there subjected view. Remember that..."as Clayton just said"
I don't think some of you know how much this will change the game of football...
If I felt that it would only be missle shots with leading with the helmet,that would get these flags,suspensions and fines..I would be fine with this...
But this isn't the case or for 1st time offenders either...
We shall see I guess....

They won't be ejecting anyone from games...it will all be reviewed afterwards and they'll get a call from the Commish.
That Patriots' hit in Heap this week is what they're targeting, that was dirty, and clearly an intentional headshot.
Landry and Fletcher are two of the most-skilled tacklers in the league, we don't have to worry about them at all.
This will affect the games of players like James Harrison and Hines Ward more. It's going to be like the Horsecollar Rule for Roy Williams for a few dirty players in the league. They'll have to play smarter or face the consequences.
I really don't see anyone on our roster who plays dirty. Yes, this will make players have to be conscientious about how they hit people, but Haslett seems like the kind of coordinator who makes sure the players follow fundamentals...except for a lost cause like Carlos' hands.
