The end of the three point stance?

Yeah but what about D-Lineman on the interior? What position would they be allowed to play in?The bitch position?

Good point. Probably a stand up position in a gap. Basically, this is a change that would take 320 lb nose tackles out of the game entirely. Which, im sure, is part of the goal of preventing concussions.

Hey I spent some time at Nosetackle, even though I was undersized.

I guess though the NFL's other goal is to tackle obesity and $100 million players that can't breathe.

And get 'em while their young:

This only makes the NFL look more look a bunch of wusses if they were to really do this. Soon golf will become a more dangerous sport than football.

By the time this a-hole Goodell is finished with his tinkering of the greatest sport in the world it will be completely non contact flag football. I see alot of retired older players, esp. lineman and they seem fine, hell look at our great Russ Grimm, how many heads did he bang. I dont know anything anymore, good ol Roger knows everything and he needs to b replaced and I say we start collecting money to rent a sign on the side of a bus, or was it the tail gate of a truck, whatever.

How many offensive and defensive lineman in history have ever either gotten a concussion or left the game because of one? I cannot think of any. It seems to me that this is just lip service from the commissioner to keep congress from breathing down the NFL's neck.

The only thing that the three point stance could concievably be responsible for his the mangled hands of lineman and that won't stop by eliminating the three point stance. Unless of course we have another "genius" rule change on the horizon.

I mean wedge rule, didn't necessarily agree with it but it was enough to keep players safe while not fundamentally changing the game.

The National Flag League it will be this soon.


I'd call it the National [Gay] League.

They've insulated the QB (except JC) from virtually any hits, made the chop-block illegal (which is a good rule IMO), horse collar...illegal, head to head contact (that call on Ray Lewis was in the playoffs was BS)...illegal, hits on defenseless WR...illegal. Now they want to take the three point stance out of the game. Why even play the game? It's a violent game and they're well compensated. If they don't like it, they can work for a living. And damn these owners and league officials. All they care about as someone said earlier, is their investment. They're ruining the game.

Lombardi is rolling in his grave.

I think the title of this article is a tad misleading and seems to have people in a tizzy. If you read the article it says he's not ruling out the idea of banning the 3 point stance... not that anything is in the works to do so like the title suggests. Relax folks, he's just keeping his options open. This would be a pretty drastic change and I don't see it happening.
