Had me until rule 4. Rule 5 is dumb as well. They really need to do something to bring the balance back to the game. This is as good a start as any.

I'm invoking the "Spirit of 76 Doctrine":
If it wasn't a rule on the field in 1976, it doesn't need to be there today.

All the NFL wants to do is massage its revenue by pumping up fantasy football and the associated stats. You do that by unleashing the offense.

Rules 1 and 2 aren't horrible but limiting where players can be before the snap is just as invasive to the game as throwing too many flags. You got the team to 3rd and 20? Too bad you can't protect the first down. That is silly.
Rule 3 should be enacted for tonight's game. Allowing for more physical coverage on receivers will even the playing field. Additionally, I think a residual effect would be increased safety. If WRs aren't running free with no one near them because DBs are afraid to touch them they will be less likely to get blown up from someone else who started 10 yards away when the ball was thrown. Instead the primary defender may actually be in position to make the play. Rules 4 and 5 are just plain stupid. |

I might be okay with rules 1 and 2, though I think they're a bit extreme. They totally remove the ability to play prevent defense.
I love rule 3. Rules 4 and 5 do not work for me. They fundimentally change the game...which is what I thought we were trying to avoid? |

The premise of the article is fine. But I'm not sure about the proposed rules changes. I am very frustrated with the ticky-tack flags and the acting that players do in order to draw a flag. I would endorse fines for football players taking a dive though. I hate that.

Rules 1-3 are great with maybe some minor changes.. 10 yds instead of 8..etc..
Rule 4 would work if they are really concerned about QB's getting hurt, but I don't like it particularly. Rule 5 is just freaking reeruned

I usually like what JWhit had to say but in this case hell no.
As others have said, quit messing with the game. They've gone too far already...
