During games, players just think, "I have to get him down any way I can," and grab the guy's face mask because that is the easiest thing to hold onto when he tackles an opposing player. So I really think the problem is players know to not grab a FM if they are trying to tackle their teammates because they do not want to hurt friends and coaches are ready to say, "Grab his shoulder pad." During games, players think nothing matters more than putting a runner on his butt because they are playing to win and do not have time to think about anything else.

If my theory is correct, the solution would be giving quarterbacks, tight ends, wide receivers, fullbacks, and halfbacks replicas of opposing player jerseys to force all of the defensive players to stop thinking, "I don't want to hurt my friend," because all they see is the opponent's uniform. It would be interesting to see if my idea can be verified or is just false logic. What do you think?
