After each week of NFL football games for the 2017-2018 season, the Heads 'N Tales podcast will be posting an episode dedicated to injuries and health & safety topics surrounding the NFL. Specifically we will talk about possible prevention strategies, the rulebook, equipment and other injury buzz around the league. My co-host and strategist for these episodes will be one of my closest friends, Josh Boyd (hence the J in "JK"..I'm the K...). Josh and I grew up playing baseball together. Josh was a division-1 center fielder for Monmouth University and experienced his fair share of injuries throughout his career. Although Josh never played organized football, the dude flat-out knows the game of football and undoubtably knows more about the ins-and-outs of the sport better than I do from both a fan and x's & o's perspective. Our intention for these episodes is to spark conversations around topics that are usually brushed under the rug or only minimally covered in the hopes of making football and all sports safer for the athletes who play them.
You are currently looking at the show notes for Week 17!

- Has leading with the shoulder excuse become a crutch? We believe the shoulder can be used as a weapon too.
- The closer a play is to the endzone, the more vicious the hits?
De’Anthony Thomas, WR/KR Kansas City, Broken Tibia

- Example of a defensive back clearly holding up on a play across the middle to not draw and ejection for targeting.
- This shows a change in behavior and maybe the punishment fits the crime in college football.
- Should the NFL implement a similar rule in the off-season?
Do NCAA ref's have Slow Whistles?
They did on this play in the UCF-Auburn game...
