Message: [QUOTE="CousCuse, post: 2773816, member: 4127"] I think of the block in the back call that BC got and took away a big return. For a long time there was no block in the back call and players would get seriously injured. So they make that rule for safety sake and now just brushing into the back of a player is a penalty, which is dumb. But with QB's who are always in a vulnerable position, the rule is interpreted to favor the defensive player to such an extent that QB's with concussions and other serious injuries even resulting in hospitalization from what they want to say is a routine play. I think what some people don't understand is that if the expectation from that was a 15 yard penalty, then the defender would be coached to go about it differently. [/QUOTE]
