I am going to go back an watch some of the Morris highlight tapes on you tube to see how it will affect our runner. For a guy who never goes down I want to see how much I that is due to maybe that or just his own beastlyness.

I can't remember ALFMO really leading with the crown of the helmet. He gets low & absorbs blows but doesn't look to deliver a hit.

I think this rule will help him as a runner. D-players cant try to blow up RB's anymore. ALFMO is difficult to tackle straight up.

My main concern is with the refs and how they will decide to enforce this rule. I feel any big hit delivered by a RB now will lead to a penalty.

I agree 100% with your last point. Just another way for the refs to screw us

Garbage rule. Pure trash. Maybe the football is to heavy to carry as well, Nerf footballs are nice and safe. First time that penalty is called I'm unleash a mofo heard round the world.

LOL this post perfectly compliments your WP name.

You're right too, it's just funny.

Crap, they approved that stoopid helmet crown rule.

Adam schefter said that the patriots and us decided to not vote on the tuck rule

I really don't see this new helmet rule as being a big deal.

They're trying to eliminate blatant use of the helmet in the open field, which doesn't happen all that often.

I think I heard that there were 30 or so plays last year that would have been flagged under this rule. So in a total of 256 regular season games we're talking about 30 plays? It shouldn't have much of an impact at all. The league has to continue to protect players against head injuries, this rule is more window dressing than anything.

If someone else chooses to start a new thread that's ok.

The Washington Times is reporting that Democrates in congress have presented a bill or passed a bill that will basically force the Redskins to change their team name.

Wonderfull.

In the event they have to I think the team should retire the whole kit and kaboodle. We have the Wash Caps (red, white, and blue), the Wash Nats (red, white, and blue), and we have the Wash Wiz (red, white, and blue). I thin DS should purchase the Wash Federals name and change the colors to red, white, and blue.

We'll look an awful lot like the Giants and the Pats.

The government can't make you change your name. But it can remove trademark protection.
