Posted November 5, 2024Nov 5 I noticed the D when lining up to stop the Shove, their helmets are almost touching our o-linemans and seems to be definitely beyond the los. Was just wondering if that's a legal way to lineup? If not legal, I hope the Eagles see it and notify the refs like they did against the way Kelce snapped the ball
November 5, 2024Nov 5 You can never lineup with a part of your body in the neutral zone defensively. The NFL clearly is allowing teams to line up illegally against us because they don't like the play and there is no basis for them to have it banned without affecting other elements of the game.
November 8, 2024Nov 8 I don't know why the NFL doesn't like it. It's not like we invented it or something. This type of play goes all the way back to the origins of football as a sport.

That's what I'm hoping will happen. Just like they have started to really pay attention to the illegal man down field penalty.

November 9, 2024Nov 9 Brotherly Shove died last Sunday. Of course, stubborn and retarded Siri will keep trying to force that play, even though it doesn't work anymore- Kelce is GONE.

This type of play goes all the way back to the origins of football as a sport. Because it’s not a sexy play and there’s a higher chance people can get hurt with all those big bodies in such a small space. Plus you don’t have the chance to see receivers catching the ball 20 yards down the field or running backs making people miss in open space and therefore they can’t use it in highlight packages, commercials or social media. As far as the league office is concerned, it’s a wasted down.
