Oh, I'm pretty sure fines are a great way to alter how players play the game. Watch any game from the 1980s/1990s and how defenses react to QBs running the ball vs. how they play now. Alot of your ordinary LBs/DLs don't make tens of millions of dollars; those fines make a difference in their take-home pay pretty quickly.

(Assuming the reporting is right and they intend on this being mainly handled with fines) |

It’s kind of like the pitch clock. Go enforce this in the preseason, spend a whole year practicing what this is gonna look like, then next year make a more official policy. |

You don't see how that can effect/impact the outcomes of games? ![]()

Of course. Everything effects outcomes of games. Wtf are we talking about. What it ISN'T is "steering". It's eliminating a dangerous, exploitable tackle. Enforcing it through fines makes it far less impactful on individual games. I was responding to the implication that this was all a way to make the game outcomes easier to control. That makes no sense.

Ah, okay. Yeah, I must've missed the part about steering. Wasn't thinking about that at all.
