The league's "best" blocking receiver lost his arsenal. "The key rules change for player safety bars a defenseless player from being hit in the head or neck area by an opponent who launches himself and uses his helmet, shoulder or forearm to make contact. Previously, those kind of tackles were banned against receivers who couldn’t protect themselves, but now it will apply to everyone." Sorry Hines, you're blocking on a level playing field now.
