S/N this is something we don't normally see or think about but watching Montae Nicholson after Garcon trucked him makes me think we should start seeing a penalty for leading with the crown, and it shouldn't matter whether it's offense or defense.

The leading-with-the-crown-of-your-helmet rule is a much more controversial new rule. Both offensive and defensive players who lead with the top of the helmet will be flagged 15 yards in certain, specific circumstances. Should both players be flagged, the penalties will offset and the teams will replay the down.
"It is a foul if a runner or tackler initiates forcible contact by delivering a blow with the top/crown of his helmet against an opponent when both players are clearly outside the tackle box (an area extending from tackle to tackle and from three yards beyond the line of scrimmage to the offensive team's end line)," the new rule -- Rule 12, Section 2, Article 8 -- reads. "Incidental contact by the helmet of a runner or tackler against an opponent shall not be a foul."

I dont think garcon really lead with the crown of his helmet. Seems like Nicholson came in with his head lower.

Really hard to watch. A couple plays a game it makes me feel uncomfortable.

Cut blocks down field. I thought they eliminated low/cut blocks outside the box and down field but I looked up the rule and didnt see anything. That fucking Niner O lineman just pussy blocked Breeland's knees for no reason.

Secondary is spread way to thin w injuries, D needs to play soft and off.
