The idea has been tossed out here before that if someone goes out on a flagged hit, that the offending player needs to sit the same time.

I wonder how the refs will determine what is dangerous?
Laying a fingernail on Tom Brady = Dangerous Blasting Alex Smith's head into the turf = Not Dangerous

They do this in college football and honestly it's a disaster.

I'm sure the definition of "Dangerous" will be crystal clear.

Targeting rules will be uncomfortable. But they're needed more than ever. Buehlers idea makes the most sense. If you knock a player out with an illegal hit, you should sit out an equal number of snaps. |

I say implement a penalty box for the NFL. Dangerous hit, in the box for X number of plays for that unit, either D or O. Other team gets a "power play" (11 vs. 10) until they either score or the number of plays a penalized player is out.

Dangerous (NFL adjective):
"Of potential harm to Tom Brady or someone he cares about." "Any contact that may impact near-term television ratings and jersey sales."

The league can't even agree on what a catch is anymore.

If they did that (hopefully they won't), it would need to be reviewed first to make sure that there really was contact to the head.
There have been way too many flags thrown for a receiver who was hit helmet to helmet, and then the replay afterward shows it was shoulder to shoulder, or the contact between helmets was incidental to the actual collision. And there are more situations where the contact was unavoidable. Since the NFL just desires to slow down games and create more situations where nobody knows what the rules are, I'm certain this will go over like a fart in a spacesuit |

About damn time. Always thought the yellow card/red card deal in soccer was a good idea. Fines won't stop these guys from killing each other but if a star player has to sit, the whole team will suffer.
That'll stop it right quick.
