Dallas Cowboys Dez Bryant Disagrees With The Crown Rule

The crown rule was enacted at last week’s NFL owners meeting.

“Truth be told, I’m not trying to run nobody over,” Bryant said on Saturday. “I’m really just trying to make them miss, trying to score every time I touch the ball. But they keep making these rules, people aren’t going to want to watch football any more. I don’t think that rule is going to last long. There’s going to be so many penalties in this league. Too many guys getting fined. It’s hard for somebody to pay attention to trying to not to use their helmet.”

Bryant was a speaker at a Dallas-area “Men Against Abuse” rally on Saturday.

His teammate Brandon Carr, also feels as if the NFL is pushing the boundaries a bit.

“Are they going to call it?” Carr asked. “I think they’re trying too hard on that topic. It’s one thing to improve safety but it can’t just challenge the integrity of the game. I don’t see too many running backs out there running with their heads down intentionally trying to spear you or anything with their helmet. Most running backs lower their shoulder anyway. You’re taught to lower the shoulder and bring the boom.”
