Re: Is the NFL softening up?
Thats whyi have more respect for the offenses in the previous decades. WR's were decapitated if they went over the middle and QB's had to make better throws IMO with the defender right in the wr's hip pocket as they both jocked for position down the field.
The main thing that sticks out to me is the new emphasis on the 5 yd rule. half the time the wr that drew the flag wasnt even being looked at by the QB. instant 1st down. to me that is BS. just my 2 on that.
