Rules in honor of Cowboys

[morasp]

I can think of three rules that have been impelemented due to Dallas Cowboys players.

1. the player can't intentionally take his helmet off on the field Emmitt Smith
2. The O Lineman can't head slap the defensive lineman Eric Williams
3. The horse collar tackle Roy Williams

That must be some kind of record.

There are several more.

irvin and the pushoff rule is another

Not a rule, but a defensive scheme. The "Zone" pass defense. because of Bullet Bob Hayse.

The head slap was outlawed because of Deacon Jones not Erik. The Erik Williams rule is hands to the face.

the stick em on the gloves was another

In my opinion, not being able to take your helmet off on the field after a TD or whatever is completely stupid. Just a completely pointless and IDIOTIC rule!

the no horse collar tackle is stuoid too, and i'm not sayin that because i like roy williams, but sometimes thats all you can grab.

The zone defense was invented soley to stop Bob Hayes
