Go back to leather helmets and players will stop using their heads as battering rams.

I used to think that, but I’m not sure now. I think there might be too much money in modern day football for it to be as much as a governor to physical play/leading with the head like it was back in the day. You have the advances of chemistry and medical treatment now. I guess it would depend on how squeamish the fans became, it might work depending on that. But it’s a moot point, the culture isn’t sending them out with helmets softer than what they have now, in my opinion.
