word man
honestly the best route would be to get rid of pads altogether
it would make the game suck tho
the pads make it awesome because people hit eachother with reckless abandon. without pads you would be more worried about yourself when hitting dudes
like look at rugby. theyre a bunch of tough fuckers but you dont see huge collisions. they gotta focus on form tackling, not firing into eachother like missiles
but dudes firing into eachother like missiles is what makes football football. you take that away and its a failure as a sport.
its like having mma matches but your not allowed to punch or kick or wrestle. you are only allowed to circle your opponent and give him mean looks.
