[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 887464, member: 265"] It [I]might[/I]. Looking at it, it depends own how the rules are enforced. The main thing is that an option team would need bigger ABs and WRs (no more Bostics or Zenons, alas, but a Godhigh would do fine), but that is already the way the academies are going due to rules already in place. OL blocking wouldn't be effected all that much, again depending on how the refs enforce the rules. Enforcement is always the big issue. Holding is still a penalty, but the general enforcement of it is that you can hold on every play as long as you don't a) actually tackle the opposing player or b) grab an arm as they go by you and the ref is right on top of you. Lock their arms up "by accident", sure. Push them with your arms extended, sure. Result = teaching OLs to block has become Italian soccer practice; i.e. you train the OLs to break the rules. Except for option teams, of course; they actually, you know, HIT people. If the refs enforce the blocking rules as written, then the option teams won't have that big a problem. If they are trying to stop cut blocking, then they will, but so will everyone else. Then it will descend into the kind of problems we now have with targeting penalties. [/QUOTE]
