The only thng I don't like is that the offense can be penalized for blocking someone without a helmet. If you are running with a limited view and a player that just lost his helment comes out from behind another player and you block him, personal foul.
I believe that the once a player loses their helmet they are not allowed to continue a football play. So even if the action continues they are to remove themselves or they get a penalty. So in your situation the player you blocked gets flagged, not you.

Can I ask all you fine folk a question concerning the targeting penalty?
What if, instead of hopping up like the Boss he is, Justice had gotten seriously hurt on that play? He was defenseless and had no knowledge of the coming collision. Those types of situational tackles have often led to very dire harm to players in the past. It looks great in highlight reels, but those don't often show the fifteen minutes of medical attention that the unaware player needs after they are blindsided.
You guys are saying it is the pussification of football, but what if it was your player that gets completely leveled in that instance?

What if he stops but then the blocker comes around someone and did have time to check if he is wearing head gear...
