Have you ever seen some of the nasty wounds caused by Rugby? 70 stitches in a forehead. Just stick with what we do! It's football!

Replyif it is taught correctly...
Replysomething the Seattle Seahawks have implemented. when taught correctly it is safer and more effective.
ReplySeahakws have consistently been either the top or top three defenses in the NFL year in year out since implementing these techniques. They don't seem overly complicated, just a change of pace. Good call.
ReplyCut down on targeting penalties.
ReplyPlayed rugby for several years, always told people football would do well to adopt the rugby tackle. You definitely don't go in with your head, like a dumb a$$, when you don't have a helmet. This should help prevent lots of unnecessary targeting penalties and head/neck injuries.
ReplyYes and it will lead to less injuries
