Dude, what the hell does that have to do with zone blocking? Are you logicalvoices brother? They’re not the same thing. Not even the same species or phylum.

I could not be happier about the field maintenance rule. Chris Clemons blew out his knee at fed ex during the wild card game without being touched when he stepped in a gopher hole. While Redskin fans were probably happy it took out Seattle’s only viable pass rusher & sack leader. At 31 years old who knows if he’ll get that explosive 1st step back all because of bush league maintenance. You’d think the skins would’ve at least prepared that field for the playoffs. Instead the lost their qb & we lost our pass rush. Disgraceful.

Neighborhood committee must send them a letter telling them to keep their yard looking decent.

Fields must be maintained up to NFL standards, and the league can require clubs to maintain their fields up to the league’s high standards, at the club’s expense.

The Bears had to at Soldier Field! At least your owner owns your stadium!

Such a designation “requires” them to be issued a number between 20-49. They were later switched to TE or H-back but allowed to keep their numbers rather than switch to 80-89. In much the same way “WR” Devin Hester is allowed to wear 23 instead of the required 10-19 or 80-89 as he entered the league as a DB.

Fake player safety in full effect.

Just take out all kickoffs, punts, can’t tackle the QB, allow the WR to catch the ball and take two steps before attempting a tackle, eliminate the fullback…..

These guys are like politicians. Now that they are here, its constant changes to validate their jobs and make money for the dictator.

When a coach throws the red challenge flag, it must be thrown towards a Corn Hole target precisely 7 yards away. Should he get the flag through the exposed hole, whether or not his challenge is upheld or his team eventually loses the game, he is still due a Gatorade bath at the completion of 60 minutes of play. This is to be known as the “makes about as much sense as these other rules” rule.

I would love to see them destroy the game to the point where they avoid the lawsuits but that franchise values dip because no one is watching since they are not playing legit tackle football anymore

Re: #2 – How many long snappers have been injured in the last decade? Probably one or two at best (if the number is more significant then my opinion will adapt accordingly). Personally I feel this reduces the already unlikely scenario of a blocked punt/kick.

Re: #6 – The role of offense is to act and the role of the defense is to react. Impeding how a runner can move seems illogical. Defenseless players on defense are already protected from illegal hits, and too many plays get called back because of dumb penalties away from the play. Could you imagine an AP 50 yarder in a playoff game getting called back because he lowered at the end of the run and the top of his helmet his a player??? That’s just how runs are finished.

A player protecting the football should be able to do whatever he likes since at that moment 11 people are trying to murder him.
