I just can't understand why the NFL thinks there is a need for this rule? And don't give me that prevent "serious injury" line (when you run onto a field where players run 4.0 40's are are being chased and guys weigh in at over 300lbs butt heads for 90 mins serious injury is a foregone conclusion). What will be next? I think the owners are behind this rule for sure. By outlawing the "rundown" tackles scoring would likely increase. Sure everyone likes to see long catches or runs result in touchdowns but we like to see the touchdown saving grab also. I understand rules are a necessary evil but football is a contact sport. You know everyone on the board offen comments about our weak backfield but for gosh sake look at all the restrictions that they play under! No more contact beyond 10yd(?) from scrimage no face guarding no hand checks ect ect ect... No wonder CB's play for the ball so much. They are forced or regulated to by the rules. I don't think that these rules often help level the playing field either. Teams out of options when it comes to trying to containing the offensive theats that they face week after week. I just shake my head and tune into ultimate fighting...
