i was reading the new rules and this one blows me away.
the receiving team can no longer initiate blocks before the ball is caught or hits the ground.
Uhm HELLO! you got now by rule 8 people with in 15 yards of where the ball is kicked and they can not block anyone till the ball is caught or hits the ground? why not just let the whole kicking team run right past these 8 guys unblocked then because thats what this rule will cause. It has to be a error in the interpretation of the rule. By the time a returner catches the ball most kicking team defenders are at the 25-35 yardline of the receiving team which is 30-40 yards down the field. How the hell are these 8 people supposed to block anyone? turn their backs and run all the way to their goal line? LMAO! i see even HIGHER speed hits now with this rule.
