Hey guys, I got a copy of all the other rule changes that are being discussed.
No counter/cutting back on running lanes (The Reggie Bush Rule):
Premises – gives offense unfair advantage by tricking defenders into thinking the player is going one way when he really is going somewhere else. This causes the defense to expend unnecessary energy in pursuant of tackling the ball carrier. Also, less agile defenders may break ankles trying to quickly change direction.
No more play-action passing/flea flickers (The Eli Manning Rule):
Premises – gives offense unfair advantage by tricking the defense into thinking the play is a run when it is actually a pass. This causes defenses to expend unnecessary energy in pursuant of the running back when said energy could be used to sack the QB or drop into coverage. Defenders who are fooled by this makes the NFL look bad (see SS Roy Williams).
No more pump fakes (The Peyton Manning Rule):
Premises – gives the offense an unfair advantage when the QB fakes like he is going to throw the ball, but by trickery, the ball remains in hand. This causes the defense to transfer his movement into the area in which the ball is supposedly going, when the ball is actually being thrown elsewhere. This is also known as “biting.” (See Carlos Rogers).
No more stripping the ball
Premises – gives defense unfair advantage by yanking the ball out of the ball carriers hand without his verbal or written consent. Said ball player is not allowed to successfully complete his run attempt and the ball is often taken away by the defense. This is known as stealing and is punishable by law.
No more intercepting the ball
Premises - gives defense unfair advantage by catching the ball away from a receiver in which the QB was distributing the ball to. In this situation, the giver, also known as the QB, is delivering the ball specifically to the receiver. Any impedance on the ball is known as stealing and is punishable by law.
No more no huddle offense
Premises – gives offense unfair advantage by executing another play, in rapid fashion, without huddling. This does not allow the defense to properly catch their breath and be physically ready for the next play. The lack of a huddle also prevents play call stealing by coaches, which is also not allowed.
No more rushing the QB
Premises – this gives the defense an unfair advantage by making the QB nervous and forcing him to get rid of the ball more quickly than he would like. This often results in sacks, incompletions, and interceptions, which are also not allowed. Before rushing in, defenders should ask the QB and receive verbal or written consent to know when the QB would like to have people crowding around him.
