Channing Crowder to keep using helmet

[casmith07]

DAVIE, Fla. -- Miami Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder says the only way of preventing helmet-to-helmet hits is to eliminate the helmet.

Otherwise he's going to use his, regardless of punishment from league officials.

"If I get a chance to knock somebody out, I'm going to knock them out and take what they give me," Crowder said Wednesday. "They give me a helmet, I'm going to use it."

After several recent helmet-to-helmet hits, several of which resulted in concussions, the NFL ramped up the punishment Tuesday. Three players received big fines, and the league warned that starting with this week's games, violent conduct will be cause for suspension.

Another NFL idiot.

Didn't this guy not know that London was in England?

Im not going to blame him. I don't want to see people get hurt but it is a risk they take playing football. It's why they get paid so much. It's why so much $$$$ goes into R&D.

I always thought the rule was to not draft stupid players.

I dont know, I wish we had a few more players with that mentality to be honest.

Crowder missed the first four games this season because of an injury -- to his groin -- before rejoining the lineup last week.

I think I may have found some of his problem.

Isn't this the same guy that was labeled soft by a team either last year or the year before? I want to say it was rex ryan who said he was as soft as they come, but i can't remember for sure.

This is probably his way of trying to look like a hard ***

Ok. You are suspended. Use it again and you are suspended further. Use it again and its bye bye Mr. Chowder...er Crowder.
