My problem with that Kennedy hit on Chambers is that Kennedy didn't hit him with the crown of his helmet. Coaches always teach defenders to see what you hit. Meaning, hit with the helmet with your head up, not with the crown of the helmet. Spearing is supposed to be hitting with the crown of the helmet. That has always been the rule. But the league started calling it differently, without changing the rule. Going by the rules it was a clean hit. Kennedy had his helmet up. It wasn't a spearing. The way the league is calling it now is that when ever a WR is off the ground, he's labled defenseless, but there is no rule for this, they just started calling it like that. So the WR is off limits to any type of helmet-to-helmet hit. If his feet are on the ground than it's fine to do a helmet-to-helmet hit. They need to do away with all of these rules to protect the WRs. The only rule there should be is no leading with the crown of the helmet. When a WR is in the air, and the DB has a split second to make the hit, he can't measure up where the contact is going to be. The hit in question is a perfect example. Kennedy's helmet is moving on an even plain. When he launched for the hit his helmet was even with Chambers' chest. But when the two came together it was helmet-to-helmet because Chambers head was pushed down. How could Kennedy have avoided it? These rules are made so games will be higher scoring. That's why they have made more defensive rules than offensive rules over the years. Decon Jones said it best when Tim Brown said to him that people don't want to watch a low scoring game. Decon said (not word for word) "People don't come out to see you only...they also come out to see defensive players put you guys in the hospital."
