I'm just trying to understand why it's legal to hit some players helmet to helmet because they play a different position.

that is the only way you can stop a big player lowering his helmet going right at him.
true...just don't hit the offensive player in the helmet

Wrong. Leading with your helmet and helmet to helmet can be called on any player with the ball.
show me the letter of the law, but I kinda have to think I'm correct when not even WWL questions that play

what the frick kind of rule is that? Can I make up rules too? The saints are no longer allowed to throw to Sproles!

it doesn't matter the position it depends on what the play is doing. If Graham caught that and was trying to get that yardage no flag. Brees lowering his head no flag (that would never happen anyway)

So for example, a receiver who is jumping to catch a pass and a guy leads with his helmet and nails him.
Or with a quarterback, they try to protect the quarterbacks... so no helmet to helmet to the quarterbacks.
Running backs put their head down and ram with their helmet all the time.

they only call helmet to helmet on a hit on a QB or a DEFENSELESS receiver, that was a legal hit
this.
pierre turned into a runner of the ball the moment he turned up field. It was a clean play and everybody who disagrees is a moron. Good no call

exactly, good clean football hit. Pierre got rocked, deal with it and move on.

this should settle this discussion
Mike Pereira
he isn't talking about a running back he is talking about a RUNNER, meaning if a player catches it and starts to run he turns into a runner. He is only a defenseless receiver when in the process of catching the football.

but that wasn't a PI on that 3rd down, so we didn't really lose anything as those calls cancel each other out
that was PI the defender never turned his head around to play the ball. In the NFL they will call that all day

if whitner would have turned his head around while the ball was in the air with that much contact it would have been a great play ,but he didnt so it's PI
