Chargers should embrace Seahawks' rugby-style tackling

SAN DIEGO – Two things that stood out for the San Diego Chargers' 2015 season was the number of concussions the team suffered overall, and the number of big plays the team gave up.

According to PBS “Frontline” Concussion Watch, the Chargers finished tied for the league lead in concussions with 16. Of course, this number does not include the many concussions in practice and games that go unreported.

Unique for the Chargers is they had four offensive linemen (Orlando Franklin, D.J. Fluker, King Dunlap, Chris Watt) miss a combined nine games due to concussions.
