What would banning the 3 point stance accomplish, ruin and/or change? MTK 02-08-2010, 11:19 AM Concerned about concussions, Goodell said the league will keep looking for ways to make the game safer. Speaking on CBS's Face the Nation hours before the Super Bowl, he didn't rule out the idea of banning the three-point stance for linemen to reduce the ferocity of collisions at the line of scrimmage. MTK 02-08-2010, 11:20 AM Studies on concussions have shown that it's just not the big hits that cause damage, but all the little ones that add up over time freddyg12 02-08-2010, 11:27 AM Playing football can't be good for your brain long-term. I think in the next 10 years or so more conclusive evidence about concussions will emerge, which of course won't be good for the game's image.

You may not get knocked out but the cumulative effect of all the little impacts over time may be more damaging than the big hits. SmootSmack 02-08-2010, 01:03 PM I truly do not like Goodell.

He did also talk about improved helmets (sometime over the weekend, maybe not in that specific interview) WaldSkins 02-08-2010, 01:19 PM He did also talk about improved helmets (sometime over the weekend, maybe not in that specific interview) Maybe they can get all these new ideas ironed out during the work stoppage. MTK 02-08-2010, 01:22 PM Anyone see the latest segment on concussions on HBO's Real Sports? The research that is coming out is downright scary.
