The end of the three point stance?

Roger Goodell Says NFL Is Considering Banning the Three-Point Stance - NFL - NESN.com

Does anyone know how accurate this page is or has seen it on CBS?

I personally think... this idea sucks. Period.

He said it, but I think it was more like a "we'll explore every idea" kind of thing than a "We plan on getting rid of it"

Roger Goodell is the worst commissioner the NFL has ever seen. He has already trying to change the league's toughness by fining every hard hit and now this? This is football. these men choose to take the risk of getting injured for the large sums of money and because the sport is so fun to play

They're not protecting the players for their own good. They're protecting their investments.

seriously.. I get some of the stuff.. but work for better helmets primarily, I know that there are pilot programs and new helmet designs coming out and whatnot.. but yeah..

I mean good step considering that a lot of people are having issues after football, but not every hit deserves a fine, sometimes you have head to head incidentally.. is he going to put a cap on how fast you can run?

between this type of stuff and the let's make every dollar possible by shipping things overseas I'm really not fond of him

Meh, sure anything is possible. Doubt this would happen though.

Re: The end of the three point stance?

IMO it would be a mistake if they do it, but I've witnessed so many changes in the game since I began watching that it's nowhere near the game I initially began watching back in 1949. For the guys that played the game then, if they could witness what's being played now they wouldn't believe their eyes.

I think this is crazy. More & more I see the NFL as morphing into pro wrestling. Not that they want to control the outcome but it seems to me that they really want to control how they outcome is reached.

Re: The end of the three point stance?

I ask this out of pure pig ignorance...

What would banning the 3 point stance accomplish, ruin and/or change?

Re: The end of the three point stance?

Concerned about concussions, Goodell said the league will keep looking for ways to make the game safer. Speaking on CBS's Face the Nation hours before the Super Bowl, he didn't rule out the idea of banning the three-point stance for linemen to reduce the ferocity of collisions at the line of scrimmage.
