If they break 150 miles, launch the Alert 5 aircraft.
If this doesn’t work next year, there’ll be a rule requiring the opposing quarterbacks in the Superbowl to be brothers. Also, fumbles are now still live after the whistle, gee that’s not going to lead to a bunch of late hits.
I find the restriction of movement pre snap on both sides of the line kind of a feminization of footballs and a little anal retentive. There is no reason for it.
Let's cut down on Peyton Manning's excessive pre-snap antics too. Manning obviously uses these antics to get the defense back on its heels rather than to call audibles.
I woulda gone just the other way on pre-snap movement. The worst part of football is all game stoppages. Do we really need a tv timeout before a kickoff and right after the return?Better to let the offensive side do anything they want, head-fakes, etc. and force the defense to rush only once the ball is snapped...This would be a better way to protect QBs than all the position-specific penalties which really make the QB the girl on the field.
