Players who dive will now be treated the same as players that slide.....even at the goal line. This will definitely greatly impact Cam. I wonder if it will apply to players who dive into the end zone for effect rather than need.

That’s completely fuging retarded but yeah we may benefit more than others with Cam’s style.

Lets hope we see a new Cam that can hand the ball off to several other people to get one yard. Fug me our QB getting piled on again and again! Hes big and strong....but hes not Ironman. Gonna keep doing that poo until hes out for week or the season.

Yeah this seems like it would hurt us, not help. 

 

3rd and goal. Cam scrambles. Cam dives five yards, takes a shot, but still manages to stretch the ball over goal line.  Ref places ball at 5 year line, spot where the ball was when Cam dived head first towards goalline.  4th down.

Yeah seems like a net negative for us if they are interpreting it that say. Basically takes diving away as an option. May as well just slide or put your head down and power it forward. 

Can’t put your head down to initiate contact anymore. These rules are getting ridiculous. Tort law even recognizes something called assumption of the risk. NFL players do that. They assume the risk of playing a game where you beat each other up for 60 minutes. It is only the hidden data about concussions that put the NFL on its heels. This is all the league’ s way of trying to offset that.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      You know, there's something about this whole JAG thing that really just drives home the idea that to some folks, these players aren't real people, just names and stats.  Of course, it goes beyond sports. We're a sad, jaded species, us humans.

      Unc Basketball thread

      Yeah, it's just dumb. Everything is year to year. I never understood how anyone could stay engaged as a Kentucky fan or duke fan as duke became a one and done factory like Calipari made Kentucky. The thing I liked at about UNC is that we primarily focused on recruits likely to play multiple years. We'd have pur occasional one and done but most of our pros still played multiple years. And the days of the Stackhouses, Wallace, Jamison, Carter, etc. playing multiple years is just over. And now you have your role players entering the portal every year to test the waters elsewhere. I don't blame them for looking out for themselves but just personally speaking I'll run out of interest quickly trying to get to know a whole new roster year over year.
