Simply put, don't coach your players to lower their head. It's not acceptable tackling technique anymore. We don't want any more paralyzed defensive players from having the crown of their helmet hit another player.
So are they just supposed to give up when the ball carrier goes low?

When it comes to the targeting foul and where we head from here idk. I don't think the player should be ejected. But also there seems to be no uniform call on it. Maybe we have one review board back in bham( I joke) to review targeting from all games as they happen. Then we'd know the calls would be uniform. You can't really get rid of targeting because the players need protection.

Form tackling involves keeping your eyes on whatever you're tackling. Contact begins with the facemask, not the crown. Tilt your head back an inch and you remove the risk of a compression spinal injury and don't get penalized.
Lower your head and you risk paralysis and get a penalty to try to teach you to tackle safely.
If that means the runner gains another yard or two... that's the game now.
