More regulation isn't going to make for a better game. It's going to make for more flags, more wasted time, and most importantly it's going to make the game more unwatchable.
Not all that long ago we'd all be shocked that a flag would be thrown in that case. I mean seriously, what the hell is the defender supposed to do, just step out of the way to avoid colliding with the 'defenseless' receiver?
It's football. Players collide violently on crossing routes.
