“After four days of meetings in Indianapolis, the committee also recommended penalizing all open-field blocks below the waist.
It occurs to me that this change would prevent our slot backs and wide receivers from cut blocking on the perimeter and also down field.
Is this a problem for Army? I personally think this is coming from D coordinators who hate having to prepare for option offenses.
How can this be about safety? We are talking about 180 lb slot backs and 200 lb wide receivers.
I’d especially like to hear from people with coaching experience. Is this a problem for our offense or not?
I am concerned. This feels like part of a Long March strategy to eventually eliminate cut blocks in the tackle box.
