[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 985905, member: 265"] Yes. This is a major part of the problem. When radar collision detectors were put on tankers after Prodhoe Bay there were more collisions. The watch on the ships quit looking for other vessels or obstacles; "Hey, dude, the radar will catch it." Now the easiest way to change football behavior would be a series of changes in equipment. Go back to simple leather helmets = fewer head to head collisions. Mandate lower body padding (I believe htis used to be a rule, st least in high school) = slowing players down and less violent collisions. But … none of this will happen. And tackle football will slowly decline. Just like the Friday night fights and bowling tournaments. [/QUOTE]
