No more 5 yard facemasks

I am glad they got rid of that 5 yard face mask, or hands to the face... It always seemed ok for the offensive player to put his hands on the mask of the defensive player while stiff arming, but the defensive player just had to touch the offensive players mask and the flag comes out... good riddence.

Ahhhooohhhh....I thought they were going to make all facemasks (including incidental) as 15 yarders but its really going to be where the incidental ones just won't be called. Nice.


And the tuck rule is dumb. It isn't just that an arm moving forward is considered a pass...its that an arm coming back into the body and not moving in a passing motion at all is considered a pass. Dumb.
