I’ve seen this more around the league and think they need to get rid of it. I thought there was a rule, but it’s not being enforced if so.

Anyone notice this?

I don't like that play either, but I guess it's not illegal anymore. From what I can tell it used to be, but they changed it around 2005-2006, so now it is only illegal to pull or pick up the ball carrier, but it is not illegal to push from behind. Good for them for taking advantage of the rule all season...it's basically unstoppable. I think it's stupid though, and needs to be talked about in the off season.
