Answer 2

Okay, when you're taking the guy down be sure to get low, and just pretend you're going to kill him because he did something to you. Let all anger out of you, scream if you have to. Don't be scared because of what happened with Kevin Everett, even he recovered.  

Answer 3

Keep your head up and keep moving toward your target (his belly button) and drive a shoulder pad into him.

Guys get paralyzed when they duck their heads.  This lines up the cervical vertebrae (spinal column in the neck) and puts an axial load on it (hitting it from the top like a hammer on a nail).  This is the worst thing for any part of your spine let the cervical area.  It crushes the vertebrae and can damage the spinal cord very easily.  If your head is up, your head may snap back if you hit wrong, but odds are it won't damage the spinal column or cord.  The worst you'll get is a little whiplash.

I saw this happen right in front of me last year.  A runner put his head down and tried to drive through a defender.  He broke his neck (literally) in three places.  Luckily there was no damage to the spinal cord.  He had to wear a halo device for months and had to be home schooled the rest of the year.  He can walk, but he'll never play a contact sport again.
