Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 3242600, member: 1992"] Sure, I can see some merit in this suggestion. You touched on an interesting point. As you say the rule was brought in to stop teams taking out players like Slater, Paps, Teddy etc however the 'penalty' of a 7 tackle set has been watered down by 8/9/10/11/12/13 tackle sets which are now, common as muck. That's why I say two things, we stop caring about the ball going dead and blaming our players and secondly we can use it to our advantage WHEN we are on our 40 and beyond to their 40. The idea to me that Milford hoist a bomb most of the time seemed stupid. If my guy can drop punt it down the guts and we chase it will quite often settle short of dead and like I've said repeatedly, if it goes dead, no biggie. We are set defensively, we get a break and we take control. We take offside and crappy six again calls out of the refs hands. In truth, we only need 6 guys to even make the defensive line solid as the tap must be taken in the middle. However, there's no way we won't be set because every defender had to turn and run to get behind the 20. Win win. [/QUOTE]
