Inevitably, that's where we'd get to, as no self-respecting defensive back could resist the temptation to completely pulverize an un-armored receiver on a crossing route. Coupla deaths later, and the rules would reflect the new reality. Upshot would be the Rugby League with the forward pass.JKGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13569861165454532541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5397322642750913060.post-56776493928440071512008-06-10T12:27:00.000-05:002008-06-10T12:27:00.000-05:00The up armoring of football players is one of the ...The up armoring of football players is one of the reasons more and more serious injuries occur in American Feetball. The players are so large <I>and fast</I> they can generate tons of force (Big Newtons!) and with the feeling the are invincible they have no problem launching their huge frames at their opponents. Take away the fully encapsulated Great Helms Feetball players are moving towards and they might be a bit more hesitant to jam their heads into such conflagrations.Grung_e_Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01894879088472559055noreply@blogger.com
