So if a player's helmet goes askew during a play and he takes it off himself, he must sit out the next play?

Why do people do that? Just assume any change must means something absurd. No, of course not, unless he takes it off during the play or during "subsequent dead ball action related to the down". NOT after play has relaxed.

The point was that coaches were saying helmets were coming off RIGHT after the whistle, thus not during the play, so they didn't have to come out... this was not the intention of the rule. Now it is clear.

And I believe if a player's helmet does not fit right, or the chinstrap isn't tight enough, and the helmet turns sideways during a play, he should have to sit out a play. Tighten the chinstrap, wear a helmet that fits, or face possible injury. That's absurd?

If you want restrictions, you think they should be enforceable or honor system?

You weren't one of those coaches that would growl about "worry about what's going on out on the field" when the sideline warning came out, were you Big J?
