who ever said the d had to adhere to more rules presnap than the o?


That's the basic principle behind y'all's bitching, the advantage pre snap and equality.

quote:

the reason there are so many presnap rules on the o is because they have the ball, they know the play, they know the snap count


So there is less equality because of the fundamental aspects of the sport? Good lord that's some pussy arse football. Maybe we can all get ribbons next year

quote:

change the way defenses work and have worked for over 50 years and try to equate them


Like penalizing a team for playing football?

getting rid of the meerkat oline is not equivalent to eliminating blitzing or making defenses adhere to motion rule


Of course not

I find when reading the post to threads, if you just skip the aubie's post you will see a very comprehensive and intelligent view of that thread. Try it, it works.

Hey NYC, what do you think about my idea of expanding the players area on the sideline to go goal line to goal line? That would shorten the distanced needed for the players to run on and off the field and could guarantee that the d would not get called for offsides on a substitution situation. Also, I think the offense should have to check in with the ref when they sub, that way they will always know and can make sure the d has the same opportunity to sub. Make it a penalty if the O trys to sneak a player sub . And they could on first downs allow for the 10sec rule to apply allowing a guarantee to sub, give the refs time to move chains and get set up for the next plays.

Mostly I think the player area needs to be expanded/addressed and have the O check in when they sub.
