NFL Owners Pass Four New Player Safety Rules

halodoc · 03-25-2009, 11:33 AM

Most of the new rules like every year are bs. The main reason for them is to increase points per game because they think more people will watch. It is and always will be for now on about the money. They use "safety" for the player as an excuse to "better" the game. A lot of great defenders in football history would be handcuffed in todays game. I liked it when if a wr or rb got a 1,000 yards it was an accomplishment and not every team had a star at those positions.

Again i'm confused, wasn't an onside kick out of bounds put at like the 40 for the receiving team? Or am i relying on my knowledge of madden09 rules lol.

I believe it was put where it went out on an onside kick.

I say they just put flags on the quarterback and be done with it.

Really. Maybe these guys are in the wrong profession. I'm not looking for anyone to get hurt, but the hit on Brady was a guy trying to make a play. It wasn't intentional. Worked out for Cassell pretty well. Players are going to get hurt sometimes. That's the chance they take for getting big money to play a game. Let's face it, one of the big attractions of playing football is to be able to legally knock the shit out of somebody. This isn't golf.

I don't think its the players in most cases complaining about the hits more so the owners who pay high dollar for these guys. There have been a few cases like the horse collar deal that the players supported making it against the rules.

I think these microprotecting rules are stupid. The reason they enacted the on-side rule is because "they were getting matchups there that they thought were dangerous." I mean jesus it's football! It's like they think it is possible to rule danger out of the game yet still allow them to run full speed into each other. Es stupido.

Also it is important to note not many teams use a wedge, we are one of the few teams that do. It will be interesting to see how this rule affects our performance. Rock was one of the top kick returners in the NFL for the last couple years, how will wedgeless Rock and the rest of Danny Smith's boys fair?
