Last year they passed a rule stating that if a player's helmet came off during the course of play they had this about the next play. -- it's about one play before they can come back again. And this year they they took it one step further in and basically said that once there helmet comes off they're kind of out the action so. They can't be hit by an opposing player when their helmets often. And on the flip side. That you participated in play and block when there helmets off as a. The rule change regarding -- coming off players' heads is designed to make the game safer. And not put players in vulnerable situations like they have been in the past.
