It's easy, and only takes a few moments.That's not really a new rule, they just started paying closer attention to it. I think Ty Law is the one that coined it the "Ty Law rule", which really is bullstuff.Remix 6 said:how about the new Ty Law rule? No contact beyond 5 yards..not even a little. PIs sohuld be reviewable
That was ruled a "crack-back" block-I believe that type of downfield crackback only became illegal in 1979...desi-patsfan said:i cant think of it right now, but does anyone remember last year Brady got flagged for some sort of illegal block on a reverse?

If you want to get precise about it, the league starting emphasizing it after Polian *****ed about his WRs getting destroyed off the line in the 2003 playoffs. Ty Law did do alot of the destroying, as you say. I don't know who first coined it the "Ty Law Rule" (even thought it was not an actual rule change), but I have heard Ty Law call it that... which is a little too Ricky Henderson-ish for me. The Patjew Rule states that one cannot refer to himself in the third person.Remix 6 said:law didnt call it the Ty Law Rule..people started calling it that because he was 1 of the most physical corners
BehindEnemyLines said:The rule I hate is intentional grounding.Isn't it the QB's job not to take a loss.So the defense doesn't get a sack,but they did there job,and didn't let the QB gain any yards.How come spiking the ball isn't intentional grounding.What receiver was he throwing it to.
BradfordPatsFan said:1. First down at the spot for a PI. There is no way of knowing if the wr is going to catch the ball. Use the college rule, 15 yards.
OhExaulted1 said:I (like BB) don't like the injury reporting rules. Why should you let an opponent know specifically where to target a player your obliged to protect.
I'll bet that definately builds loyalty among players when they know a coach is willing to stick his neck out and get fined to protect his guys.
