  "account": "Pro Bowl Tennessee Titans defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons expressed concerns about New York Giants running back Cameron Skattebo potentially breaking NFL rules with his running style. It all transpired during the Titans' 12-7 loss to the Giants at MetLife Stadium on September 27. During a run, Simmons sustained a direct blow to the stomach from Skattebo's helmet, which violates NFL regulations that prohibit players from striking opponents with the crown of their helmets. Simmons, recently selected as the Titans' NFLPA voting representative, noted that Skattebo's compact stature makes it easier for him to lower his pads and break the rule. He pointed out that the league has emphasized keeping helmets up, especially for running backs. While Simmons acknowledged Skattebo's physicality and physicality, he believes the rules should be applied to protect players. Simmons emphasized that the NFL fosters a brotherhood and that he aims to win, but he urged Skattebo to keep his head up and avoid lowering it first.",
