Offensive pass interference shouldn’t be a 15-yard penalty. It should be loss of down and 5 yards. I know the goal is for it to be the same penalty as the defense would suffer, but a 15-yards penalty inherently hurts the offense worse than the defense because 25+ yards to go in a set of downs is almost always insurmountable.
So question, we have automatic first downs for the offense, can we get automatic fourth downs for the defense?

Take away the low hit penalty on hitting the QB in the pocket
Should they take away the low hit penalty on punters and kickers?

Completely different circumstance. If you sack a QB but him below the knee it’s roughing the passer. If you hit the QB late anywhere it’s a penalty same with kicker/punter. I’m strictly referring to the low hit on the QB in the pocket. They have a target zone.

You can get a penalty for literally bumping into the punter.

What’re you arguing here?

People are okay with running into/roughing the kicker/punter penalties, but they hate roughing the passer calls. You want defensive players diving into QBs knees.

FGs over 60 yards are worth 4 points, at any level, HS, College, NFL.
Overtime is played as a continuation of the second half. If the 4th quarter clock expires in a tied game, OT begins at the point of interruption.
Start the season 6 weeks later, football in triple digit heat sucks!!
Go back to the Power 7 Conferences, Big 10, SEC,ACC, Big 8, SWC, Big East, and Pac 10.

You think stopping the game so a team can celebrate a non-scoring play will help the flow of the game?
He used terrible justification but he's merely saying go back to the way it was the previous 60 years.
They changed the rule in 2023 to shorten the game and add a full minute to the TV timeouts.

OL is not nearly as violent as it used to be. All of the zone blocking schemes are about creating angles and shielding players. It's no longer about dominating the man lined up in front of you by driving him off the line of scrimmage.

If the clock stops under 5 minutes in the 4th Q when you do that then make that the rule all game
Completely agree how they have allowed separate clock rules throughout the game is mind blowing!

Ok… are we talking about 2023 or 2026?

it’s two separate issues. Having a strike zone is not easy when you’re fighting 300lb lineman. The protect the QB after the ball is thrown is one thing. It’s entirely different when limiting how hard they can get hit or where they can get hit.
The kicker and punter is a simple one, you’re not supposed to touch them period. Entirely different.

Yeah so far back in time! How dare someone suggest that we go back to the antiquated times of three years ago in a thread titled "Rule Changes that make sense".
However, I agree with you he should have saved it for the Rule Changes that Made Absolutely No Sense because that's where it belongs.

Offensive holding for 10 yards is all but a drive killer. Make it 5 yards and move along

Three changes I'd like to see:
1. Revert all the of the rules changes over the past 30 years that were ostensibly intended to "shorten the game" but were actually meant to create more space for commercials.
2. Revert all of the rules changes over the past 30 years that favor the offense.
3. Revert the kickoff rules back to the way the were 30 years ago.
Oh, and remove the targeting penalty and place it under "unnecessary roughness" where it should be. So I guess that's actually four changes I'd like to see.

Unless someone can tell me a good reason the rule exists because I can’t think of one. Eliminate half the distance to the goal yardage mark off on penalties. They should be marked off as many yards as is available on the field.

The auto ejection for targeting has to go
Should be classified as a personal foul where it takes 2 infractions to get tossed. Whit was talking ab this recently and I completely agree with him there.
For him to be ejected 3 plays into the Florida game was completely ridiculous.
Because the foul alone did not reduce the number of incidents in targeting... Don't do it stay in the game.
In NFHS(what 48 states use for HS) it must be a flagrant target (or any flagrant PF for a DQ. The foul itself reduced the number of tageting incidents. Looking back at my foul reports over the last 3 seasons only 2 targets were DQs... and on both of those the enire crew(that saw the foul, not all officcials see it, because they are focused on their keys) and the clock operators all agreed they warranted a DQ.
The purpose of the rule and the DQ is to get those hits out of the game.
