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

Need to get rid of the pocket rule for QBs. If they are not throwing to a receiver it should be intentional grounding.

Go Hunh all you want, but don't run to the ball and then get your play from the sideline. That keeps defenses from substituting. Center will hike ball if he sees defense trying to sub. What is fair about this? Is it fair for defenses to fake injury? I would do it everytime a HUNH did that shite to me.

I am not too concerned because it looks like defenses are slowly, but surely, getting a handle on up tempo offenses. Every new offense racks up tons of points when it first comes out and it takes a while to figure out how to stop it. The forward pass must have seemed like magical ninja voodoo when it first was unleashed on the game.

Heck the old triple option took two decades before defenses finally got it under control and teams like Oklahoma, Arkansas, Bama, and Nebraska were putting up point totals that no one would bat an eye at seeing on a scoreboard today.

The NCAA, NFL, high school and what have you want exciting games. Games where it takes well into the second half before one of the teams finally manages to creep across the 50 yard line can be pretty darn dull frankly.

The biggest problem with the HUNH is not the substitution stuff, though that is an issue, it is that the HUNH simplifies the game. The offense only has a handful of plays that can be called quickly and the defense plays out of a fairly basic package.

It removes a lot of the strategy during the game and I think that detracts from the enjoyment level.
