Chiefs Changes to the read option

cmh6476 · 11:00 AM

I searched and didn't see this being discussed anywhere. Sorry if it has. But it feels like our offense includes this technique, A LOT!

A new rule for 2023:

To make handing the football forward a penalty like an illegal forward pass, proposed by the Competition Committee

Rule change: This will penalize teams handing off the football forward on a read-option, for example, or any other running play a penalty. Handoffs will have to be made next to or behind the quarterback, not in front of.

Can't wait for the slow-motion 5 minute reviews trying to determine if the RB was in front of our just kind of to the side of the QB and at what exact instant the possession of the ball changed. Great job, NFL! Really making the game better with this one.

It’ll be massive horseshit if this passes but they keep the rugby scrum play.

Eh, I’m sure Andy will adjust.

And I like the “extra 3 players for the playoffs” change.

It'd be massive horseshit if a poster claimed to take his fake GF to Belize

Then had to scrub all of his posts about it because he was broken by CP!

Hence why he was going to submit evidence to the mod of his choice. Basically the mod that wiped out all evidence of his lie.

How is it any different than a forward pass, I guess I don't understand this rule

I guess now it actually has to leave the hands of the qb if it's to go forward

this would hurt non-chiefs teams so i'm in favor

might actually make the chiefs more effective if it always has to be done this way

Stupid ****ing rule. What’s this accomplish?

but if it travels in the air for any period of time, it's ok... ie, toss on a jet sweep?

Yep. You can underhand pitch the ball forward, just so long as you're behind the line of scrimmage when you do it, but don't hand it forward. That would be awful.
