Bump & Run rule

I've been hearing some noise about the bump & run rule this year. Has anyone else heard anything about this? Referees are actually going around to the different training camps, and showing the players what kind of things they will be calling this year. The rule is this: the defensive back is only allowed to touch the WR once within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage, instead of numerous times. It is actually an old rule that they are just going to be enforcing alot more this year, because of the the way last years playoff games were played, ie: Eagles vs. Panthers,and Pats vs. Colts.

This will open up things alot for the WR's on our team, but increase the vulnerability of our CB's. Look for alot more points to be scored this year, bet the over.
