We still don’t know all the details about the new rule that was passed during the Annual League Meeting that makes it a penalty for any player on the field to lower his head with the intention of making contact. Those who formulated and voted on it admit as much, saying that there is still work to be done to sort out how it will be implemented.
But one of the people primarily responsible for the rule being written and passing believes that it is going to result in a significant change, and that would be Rich McKay, the head of the Competition Committee.
