Is the NFL softening up?

The one thing that I definitely agree with is they need to find a way to make the game safer. The long-term health of the players should be top priority always. Plus with all the horror stories you hear about veterans it's probably for the best. I've mentioned this a couple of times before but I had two coaches in high school that were NFL veterans. One played for the Packers in the 70's and has a bad back which as a result won't let him walk straight. Another played for the Broncos in the 80's (including the Super Bowl against the Skins) as a backup and walks with a limp.

Maybe some of the changes they've made are a bit overboard but I definitely support the league in their attempts to make the game safer.
