    It is Bill, they have better helmets than ever and they are not supposed to use their heads in tackling or running but they do. I don't know what more they can do, the helmet itself can protech the skull it self from damage, but the brain will still get knocked around inside and that is what causes the brain damage.

    I wonder if more rules changes and better coaching of techniques to avoid using your head as a "battering" ram would reduce brain trauma.
