[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1063655, member: 7261"] My stance on the "Push", at least right now, I agree that they continue to allow it. The more I think about it, it is really no different than the TE, O-line or anyone else aiding a RB, WR, TE, etc. that is carrying the ball after a pass or handoff. If you want to go back to the old rules of "no aiding a runner", than fine, but I don't think the NFL should pick or choose when it is or isn't ok to aid a runner. Teams that can't stop the play or can't run it, need to think about it in another way. "If you can't beat em', than join em'. Defenses will figure out a way to stop the play, but until such time, every offense should be putting this play in their playbook and perfecting it. We actually saw the Packers do it a few times with Tucker Kraft going in motion and then stopping to take the snap from center. I believe both times were a success (made 1st down). Personally, I would rather not see the Packers run that play too many times. I think the odds of a defense stopping it or a fumble occurring, are higher than Love taking the snap. All that said, what I would like to see done is a tweaking of the neutral zone rules and enforcements. If the center can line up on the ball (inside the neutral zone), than why should the defense be able to do the same, with at least one player. Also, refs need to keep an eye on offensive centers. They should not be able to move the ball forward from the original LOS. I see this happen all the time. If it is 4th and inches and the center moves the ball forward a foot before snapping it, than not only is the play starting past the first down marker, but the neutral zone has been incorrectly moved by that same distance. I'm also tired of the flinches by either side of the ball getting called as illegal procedure or encroachment. As long as everyone is on their side of the LOS before the ball is snapped, its fair game. [/QUOTE]
