[QUOTE="JacketFan137, post: 887430, member: 5973"] it is already illegal to hit the qb below the waist in the pocket in the nfl. i think the main goal of those kind of rule changes is the blind side blocks/tackles that really do damage. inside the tackle box means that any hit is likely on a guy that is prepared for contact and can adjust. when you’re getting blind sided as a qb in the pocket or a motion man coming across the line and shooting at your knees that is just not safe and is just introducing more opportunities for lasting knee damage in the open field as a ball carrier there’s a lot more flexibility to get out of the way and a defender is just trying to get you down by any means necessary. the defender in that situation can’t help it. when you’re doing the blocks that are now illegal from this rule change, you don’t HAVE to shoot at the knees to block someone [/QUOTE]
