RICHMOND — The Washington Redskins were one of the most recent teams to meet with NFL referees about the league’s new use-of-helmet rule.
Like many others around the league, they still have questions.
Coach Jay Gruden is concerned about “gray areas” in the rules after Carl Cheffers and his crew presented to the Redskins and New York Jets Sunday at Bon Secours Training Center.
Rule 12.2.8 makes it a personal foul if “a player lowers his head to initiate and make contact with his helmet against an opponent.”
“I just think they are the bang-bang type plays,” Gruden said Monday.
