Title: Ball Carrier Lowering Helmet Video
Post by: younggun on March 20, 2013, 09:21:54 AM
Looking for NCAA or NFHS video of a ball carrier lowering his helmet and causing contact. I have found finding video of this is rare, but with the PoE on this subject over the last few years I think there should be more of this. Any help people can provide would help.

Thanks

The Aloha Clinics have a few.
via youtube, look for "2011 aloha helmet" (I believe.)  Sumstine did a VERY good job (as always) and had a "compressed target" verbiage he used and it makes sense.

BUT he did another one in 2012, and if I'm not mistaken, he never mentioned the 'compresses' verbiage and more or less said (to my recollection) no matter if 'compressed target' or not, the onus always lies with B.

Probably going to see several examples of it on the sports shows over next few days after NFL's actions today maiing it a foul for a ball carrier to initiating contact with crown of helmet in the open field.

The most significant facet of this new NFL rule, at least from the perspective of officiating at other than the NFL level, may be that this rule, and all of the sports media assessments, forecasts, opinions and pronouncements is that they all relate ONLY to NFL football at this time.

Yeah no way the other levels of football would ever adopt something the NFL started.
