More rule changes...can't overload more than 6 guys on FG's and PAT's. Not sure what they were thinking here. This is not a dangerous play at all.

O-linemen can't peel back and block once they're outside the tackle box. I guess we can call this the Brian Cushing rule. It seems like everythime someone gets hurt the league wants a new rule. In 10 years they'll just have flags. The Cushing injury could have been prevented had the o-linemen not gone for his knees. That should be the penalty.
