Some teams run this play quite well.
There used to be a rule about that (assisting the ball carrier)... but not for a long time.I swear there is a rule about assisting, or something like that, that reads as if trying to push or pull the ball carrier is a foul, but it never gets called.
I think there is still a rule about pulling, but you are allowed to push.There used to be a rule about that (assisting the ball carrier)... but not for a long time.
I generally agree with this.Only should be allowed if the defense is allowed to push their players too.
Hard nose, in your face, big boy football. I thought old-heads would like it. It's not getting 100 yards, in a game of inches, when there's literal inches on the line, I think it's a good FOOTBALL play. There's no advantage to the offense. Get your big boys low, create your wall, and -- if you don't like the play, don't let them get close enough to do it.
If it requires a top 3 center in the league to do it, you probably don't need a rule.
