The big change in defensive tackling, the picking up an offensive player, spinning him around and then grounding him, is so different from what it was even five years ago.
Yep, don't smash into his brain case with your defensive helmet nor into his shoulders, etc.

How have the injuries changed? Has the lateral tossing of bodies stretched muscles and tendons in directions nature didn't intend? Is any medical group accumulating what's injured and how?

Players were angry about the head contact rules when they started being enforced because it would lead to lower hits and more knee injuries. A lot of players don't care about their heads. They can play with concussions but they can't play with blown out knees.

That was the initial argument. The passion to prevent head injuries would result in far more career ending knee injuries.

Seattle adopted this style of tackling years ago, the wrap up and roll causing stress on the knees...basically death roll Alligator-style. Prolonged pressure.

The upper-body and head is so off limits, you either wrap and tweak the lower body...or get crap like this...
