Packers had a lot of success using a TE instead of the QB. Honestly that makes a lot more sense because this is purely a physics play. More mass, more force pushing and the ball carrier is still part of the push.
Most every NFL hit I cringe. I don't know how WRs get hammered, RBs get piled upon, QBs get sacked...
It’s been 25 years but those hits were usually the ones that you felt the least in the heat of the game. The next day, not so much.
Other teams don't have a QB that can do it. Thsts why FBs and TEs run it for them.
Just because the other team sucks at stopping it, even though they know it's coming and coming from the offensive left, doesn't mean the team should have it taken away. They have something good and the whiners shouldn't get their way simply because they can't stop it. When I was in the Army we didn't stop running during morning PT because some of them couldn't keep up....
This video changes my mind about this a good bit, not that it matters what I think, but thanks for posting. Put me down as anti TP.
Where are you on leather helmets though?
I do not have any genes in the game, much less skin, so I can go either way as long as they wear the same on both sides of the line (including QB).
Truthfully, I think it's bs and boring...same as the designated hitter, a simple turnstile boost tweak.I do not have any genes in the game, much less skin, so I can go either way as long as they wear the same on both sides of the line (including QB).
I am not so much against TP for injuries (anyone got numbers to say that it is actually more dangerous than average?). But I do not like that the defense cannot use the same techniques. QB sneak, sure, but not stacked manpower doing a line dance on steroids.
