The new helmet rule continues to create plenty of consternation Kenny Stabler Jersey , primarily because plenty of fans and media members continue to have plenty of confusion about what the rule allows and prohibits. Primarily because the league, before this week, had not done much to explain the niceties of the new rule.

A flag thrown on Jaguars cornerback A.J. Bouye early in Saturday’s game at Minnesota provides a good example of how the rule will operate, any and all flaws notwithstanding.

After catching a swing pass near the left sideline, Vikings fullback C.J. Ham began running forward. Bouye approached. Ham lowered his head. Bouye dropped even lower.

While the angle from the coaching film may be more clear Tarvarius Moore Jersey , it appears that Bouye struck Ham with Bouye’s helmet, instead of hitting Ham with the flipper of Bouye’s shoulder pad. Also, Bouye had his head down instead of having his face up.

Because the new rule prohibits lowering the helmet to initiate contact and then initiating contact with an opponent, and because Bouye lowered his helmet to initiate contact and did in fact initiate contact with the helmet, it was a foul.

Whether anyone likes the rule or not (and plenty don’t) Deatrich Wise Jr Jersey , Bouye’s decision to lower his helmet and his failure to get the helmet to Ham’s side made it a foul.

Some have argued that Ham should have been penalized, too. But even though Ham lowered his helmet, he didn’t initiate contact. If Bouye had taken the hit (much like a basketball player taking a very hard charge), Ham would have been penalized. If both helmets had collided after both players had lowered their helmets to initiate contact, the penalties would have been offsetting.

After going without a selection in the first round, the Kansas City Chiefs will have a second-round pick and two third-round choices when the NFL draft resumes Friday night.

Unless new general manager Brett Veach decides to trade some of them away.

Veach floated the possibility of trading into the first round Thursday night, but he ultimately stood pat. That means the Chiefs' first selection in this year's draft is expected to come at No. 54 overall, with a pair of third-round selections eight picks apart.

The Chiefs are expected to address their porous defense. They have a glaring need for a cornerback, pass rusher and defensive lineman Mitchell Schwartz Jersey , though tight end and offensive line are also possibilities.
