Can I add one other thing not quite in line with this but made me think of one of things I dislike the most in today's game.
It's when the QB acts like he is giving up and running out of bounds, forcing the defenders to give up in order to not get a late hit penalty and then proceeding to speed back up to gain an extra couple of yards, which especially sucks when he is at or near the first down marker.
I think some one needs to bring this up to the competition committee and once the QB slows up and appears to be heading out of bounds, he is declared as giving himself up.
