re: Offenses evolved to score more points. Defenses haven't evolved to stop them.

Your QB sucking arse has nothing to do with the defense controlling the offense.
It was more than that and you know it.
quote:
By dictate I mean the offense completely controls how fast or slow the game is.
So the defense should be able to slow the game down and substitute however fast they want to before the offense can run their play?
quote:
Combine that with the fact that there are about twice as many rules protecting the offense than the defense and you get what the game of football is turning into today.
So the offenses found ways to exploit the defenses. So they should shut it down?

quote:Offenses are babied and have many inherent advantages over the defense. The fact that the ref can't even step in to let everyone get set before a play just adds to it. Instead of empowering officials to control the pace of the game for the sake of fairness, they're being told to get out of the offense's way and just let em go. How do you expect defenses to do anything with the deck stacked against them?

There was a rule change a very few years ago that made the HUNH possible.
I do believe they will do something to allow the defense to substitute more often.
It's one thing to go fast, it's another to go fast to the line and act like meerkats for 25 seconds wile a play is decided on just so you can get a 5 yard penalty if the D tries to sub.
And Saban will go this route also. If that's what everyone wants football to be.
