I think they really need to look at the rule again this offseason... has anyone actually seen it called this season??
There seems to be this vague interpretation of what a horse collar actually is, I say if you grab the back of the shoulder pads around the collar area it should be a penalty, period.
What do you guys think?

roy williams simply gets around his new rule by grabbing people by the back of the jersey at the neck, instead of grabbing the shoulder pads. That's why they never call it, but he's still injuring people. If the NFL was smart, they'd simply outlaw tackling by grabbing people from the back of the neck area on the jerseys, no matter where the hand is. This new rule has done absolutely nothing to stop him and he's still injuring people by it.
