No they shouldn't. But I also think that the 2-yard rule is much to close. I say change it back to 5 yards or don't call it unless it directly affects the play. Don't call it on a lineman moseying around 3 yards past the line of scrimmage when the QB throws a 40 yard bomb.
Nm. I think college is still 5. But I still say don't call it unless it affects the play.

Not really but fine, I'll play a long. Yes, I believe that the defense has all the advantages and I believe that linemen should be able to run and block as far downfield as they want to. I think that would be great for the game. I think all the rules are made to help the defense when the game is already 11-on-11 and everyone should just cover their man. Would this be good for college football or not? Please explain.

Surely he meant offense has the advantages.

I edited the post as if it were him posting since some of yall want to think its me. honestly idgaf if you think its me. I just want him to see all the responses so his arse will know how stupid the game would be without the rule.

I swear he didn't. He is talking about when it comes tot he rules I guess. Because the offense clearly has the biggest advantage of knowing where the play is going and the defenders having to react to what the offense does, therefore giving them a step ahead.

My thoughts exactly.
I don't know exactly what the thought was way back when they came up w/ this rule, but even if didn't make sense back then it certainly does now.

quote:I got a better idea. Let's make a rule that states that the defense calls the play that the offense must run. Let the middle linebacker tell the line judge what he wants the QB to call and have him relay it to the QB. The QB MUST run that play or be charged with a 15 yd. penalty....how 'bout that?
Linemen should be able to go as far downfield as they want to on passing plays. All the rules are made to help defenses. The game is 11 vs. 11 so why does the defense need all these rules for help?
We obviously do not have any coaches or refs on this board to help explain but I dare you to try.
