3 minutes? Maybe that is a lot to ask.

Not a bad article but

Because, we are told, there has been no conclusive evidence that there is a link to the number of plays and pace of the game and injuries. In fact, there is no conclusive evidence one way or the other. And, of course, if the rule-makers are going to err, according to many critics of change, they should be sure not to err on the side of caution. Then, if the studies are done and the evidence is there, we can all go back and issue a collective apology to the injured players. Does that really sound like a good idea?

...I'm not buying it. A coach could recommend no forward pass allowed on 2nd & 1 for player safety (real reason: stack 11 in the box with no fear of the big play).
"On what do you base this as related to player safety Coach?"
"JMO, but we must err on side of caution."
"Okay Coach, resolution passed."

The writers premise would allow rule changes willy nilly.
