== Morning links- Safety first- Boise State experiments with ru ==

<html>With concerns mounting about football-related concussions, changes have been made in recent years to the way defenders hit and tackle in the NFL. It’s an ongoing debate,[http://www.jerseys-ns.net/MLB-Size-Caps-001-11028/ MLB Size Caps-001], and .
The changes have been more drastic in the NFL,[http://www.jerseys-ns.net/2012-Nike-Broncos-24-Bailey-Blue-Women-Jerseys-14581/ 2012 Nike Broncos 24 Bailey Blue Women Jerseys],[http://www.wiki2buy.com.br/test/index.php?title=Usu%C3%A1rio:Edmisteru99#Enjoy_the_holidays_Victorian_era Enjoy the holidays Victorian era], but the NCAA is implementing new rules, too. Notably,[http://moomoofarm.net/momopedia/index.php?title=%E7%94%A8%E6%88%B6:Edmisteru05 Raul Ibanez having fun watching younger hitters transform Ma], the new “targeting” rule, as examined in ,[http://chaotic-realm.com/wiki/index.php?title=Usu%C3%A1rio:Sernawad66#Pioneer_Square.E2.80.99s_indoor_national_park Pioneer Square’s indoor national park], could be a game-changer in college football.

Perhaps with some of that in mind, Boise State is apparently trying to get ahead of the curve as it relates to player safety and tackling. This spring, the Broncos experimented , the?Snake River Rugby Club.
“Coach (Chris) Petersen is always trying to get ahead of what’s coming next in the game, and we know that changes are coming because of concussions,” Boise State defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski told RugbyMag.com. “We look at rugby and see they’ve been able to manage it well, and it was really good for us.”
Some of the Snake River players apparently used to play football at Boise State, so there s a natural connection there. And the coaches said the football players were receptive to the experimental changes.
“Football players are taught to put the helmet into the chest and drive the player back,” Snake River coach Mike Saunders said. “And I know the coaches at Boise State are looking at a different way to go about it because of the issues with concussions.”
It’s hardly an in-depth piece, but it’s interesting nonetheless and it ll be interesting to see how, if at all, it translates on the field for the Broncos in the future. Will it matter? Hard to say, but it s a positive that more coaches are at least attempting to take steps to improve player safety.
Along the same lines, Sports Illustrated s Stewart Mandel has a piece about s. After recent grumbling by Alabama s Nick Saban and Arkansas Bret Bielema, Mandel talked to researchers who say the SEC coaches may be onto something. Maybe.
