Last Night Dezel Ward went to tackle low while trying to keep his helmet up and as a result, he was bent back and injured his back.  Instead of his body position bent over he found himself in a bent back position that caused the offensive player to force his head back bending his back backward in a dangerous position that caused an injury that looked worse then it was. It could have been a career ending injury!  I hope the league noticed a problem that needs to be addressed.  In my opinion, the rule should only apply to a player targeting with his helmet to head or chest of the opposing player. This rule needs to be carefully evaluated and addressed before the season starts.
