The NFL should have a maximum team weight limit on the field on every play. Say 2,200 pounds. If you have one 300 lbs. player, you have to offset it with one 100 lbs. player. This would reduce a lot of injuries and be healthier all around. It could be regulated by sensors.

Until the 100 pound guy (ridiculous) is literally killed by the 350 pounder.

Back when substitutions were strictly limited, forcing players to play both offense and defense, players were much, much lighter by necessity.

Until the one 300 lb defensive lineman hits the one 100 lb wide out.
