Like the rest of the NFL, the Giants are trying to figure out the new helmet-to-helmet rule.
“You’ve been seeing flags all over the league,” linebacker Alec Ogletree said after Wednesday’s practice. “It’s something that I think needs to get handled quickly and have a definite definition on what is illegal and what’s not.”
NFL owners, in an attempt to reduce concussions, in May approved a rule that says, “It is a foul if a player lowers his head to initiate and make contact with his helmet against an opponent.” The violation results in a 15-yard penalty.
