When I played football, our coaches used to baby us when it came to full contact and we were rarely able to hit each other in practice. I played mostly defense, and I felt like our lack of getting reps tackling and getting a feel for it in practice really hurt our tackling overall. Maybe most of our players just sucked, high school is not the NFL. While I do feel these restrictions will probably reduce injuries and wear and tear on the players, there is a slight possibility that it may negatively affect how many broken tackles we see over the course of he season.

Sure, but it doesn't mean other people wouldn't have their own opinions on the new practice rules. This story has to be good enough for at least one old timer to complain.

Dag nabbit, I remember when we busted heads without helmets or pads for 16 hour-a-day practices. Bubba's head even got ripped clean off. AND WE LIKED IT!
