Intresting Article ( NCAA Rule Changes)

The whole thing about faking injuries sounds pretty empty
 
The committee also proposed to only allow blocking below the waist by linemen and stationary backs inside the tackle box. Under the new rule, blocking below the waist would be prohibited outside the tackle box on scrimmage plays.

Originally my sig was meant as a joke about how frequently people, including Beamer iirc, mixed up cut blocking and chop blocking, or simply claimed that cutting was illegal. Before very long, they may be right.

Clearly they haven’t heard that Paul Johnson isn’t coaching anymore. These rules always seemed to target his style of blocking - down to the very direction they blocked in.
 
If it is dangerous to block below the waist it is dangerous to tackle below the waist. Outside the tackles make it that you have to hit high and wrestle them down. I know that would be silly, but it is silly to penalize any block below the waist on a sweep. They want to make football a seven on seven game, all passing, as the rules now make it hard to run the football.

Remember you cannot hit above the shoulders either. You have to be very accurate when blocking or tackling while everyone is moving at full speed.
 
Yeah, I have no idea why it should be illegal to block low if you are square up on a player. That is no more dangerous than any tackle.

I can see outlawing from the side since that leads to blind low blocks to the side of the knee.

It is really strange what they choose to focus on.

So players go back to struggling with injuries, including potentially deadly head injuries, to keep from harming the team with any potential ramifications of a committee that is going to look at something later.

Gotta pretend to do something
 
they just need to eliminate blocking and tackling. No blocking like rugby and the play is over when the defense surrounds the runner and he takes a knee... The runner is not allowed to initiate contact.

The significance of the quarter before the days of free substitution (60's) was that was the point at which substituted players could return to the game .

What would help with faking is that a player who leaves the field under an official's time out for injury would have to sit out the remainer of the uarter , that would eliminate fake injuries there. Bring back a variation on an old rule.

At least make the player sit out that series.
 
The proposed targeting rule change even is dumb here.

The proposed rule now states that in games that have instant replay, when a targeting foul occurs in the second half, the carryover penalty (sitting out the first half of that player's next game) will be eligible for further appeal and potentially overturned if the conference submits a request.

That’s what the sport needs more ambiguity and perceived or real favoritism depending on the offending party and the impact to the next game.


Stupid.

Just get rid of the next game penalty.

They need to have a defensive player/excessive contact penalty that is just a 15 yard penalty and save the targeting for true black/white head hunting.

I would have the player sit out 1 full quarter+ for the first, half+ for the 2nd and a whole game if they committed a 3rd during a season.
