The rule proposed to ban leading with the crown of the helmet. Not banning the lowering of the shoulder

Good luck enforcing that consistently.
When you lower your shoulder your head lowers at the same time unless you have a neck like Jim Carrey.

You can lower your shoulder and still keep your head up and away from the contact as much as possible.

But how do you lower your shoulder w/out lowering your head?? ... going at full speed with a 250lbs LB trying to tackle you?
