Re: Around the NFL Off - Season style.
I think the Colts and Patriots are the to blame for this explosion of offensive firepower.

It was the Colts that pushed for the "no contact after 5 yards" rule after they lost to the Pats a couple of years ago in the playoffs. And then there's the Brady rule, where you basically can't touch a QB (definitely not Brady). Throw in the safety rules about hitting a defenseless receiver and you have the surge in offensive yards that we've seen in the past few seasons.

That rule actually makes sense because of the leg twisting back. Guys were getting their knees/ ankles blown out. I have no issue with that rule.

Yeah, the horse collar rule has an obvious safety component built in and thus is a good one.

So does not hitting a QB in the knees but there seems to alot of complaning about that rule and Brady.There is still plenty of turning and twisting when tackeling and there weren't that many injuries from it.(yes some,not alot)I'd like to see a study and compare the horse collar to the new field turf and the knee and ankel injuries from that.

The horse collar rule seems to me like one that got it right. It's a bad tackling practice that can do severe damage to a runner's knees and legs. I refuse to thank JJ, but if he's responsible, it's something I wont use against him.

How so? The rule was due to one of JJ's players (S-Roy Williams) injuring several players via the horse collar. The biggest one of the bunch happened to Terrell Owens when he played with the Eagles. If anything, we can thank Andy Reid for that rule.

I tried to get in before this, because I knew a response like this was coming:

That story makes me think of this story for some reason. Maybe because its Jerry Jones being made a fool around the combine time.
