I have had several Doctors tell me the best way to drastically reduce head injuries in the NFL is to eliminate the helmets. I thought they were nuts. But they all said the same thing. The players would learn how to tackle properly without using their whole body as a spear, which they do now, eliminating using the helmet as a weapon which some players do (cough,cough..Terrell Suggs...cough,cough). They would hit with their shoulder. Yes there would be injuries, & yes some would be catastrophic. But they would be accidental in nature & those happen now anyways. I don't know if i agree, but it sure is something to think about.
