Watch Rugby or Aussie rules football where they wear no pads or helmets and go in just as hard. Maybe if these NFL players tackled for the legs of an opponent instead of going in with their heads there would be less concussions or those thinking they have a concussion .

wow just said the same.
Used to play Rugby where we are taught to take the guy out with the legs as no man can run without legs. We wore no pads or helmets. Today footballers go in head first instead of proper tackling and that is why maybe there is an increase.
