New rules effecting LOB?

Beer Hawk · Sep 14, 2014

NBC mentioned the rule changes a couple times during the Hawks/Bolts highlights. Didn't seem that way to me, however just wondering what some of the more insightful football minds on here thought.

We were not challenging catches or using much bump and run on the line, that was our signature last year. We are playing off and reacting rather than dictating.

It was odd. I really didn't see us make ANY contact, even in the 5 yards where it's allowed.

The bunch formations weren't helping the issue. But it was still weird.

Hopefully we go back to what works

I also did not see much true press technique. That was always more of BB's specialty though, Sherman played off a little more, so maybe this one just one of those games.

That was part of the plan. Rivers usually forces balls and you get a cookie, didn't happen.

I would love to see the numbers for last year because this team looks specifically built to play on turf.

I think the problem was playing on grass and then playing in the heat.

Yes, one bad call sustained a drive but then again, we got the Percy call to offset that. While I believe that we still would have scored there - there is no guarantee.

I think that part of the reason our homefield advantage is so significant is not just the noise but that our speed really shows up on turf and that makes it hard to play against this defense.

I don't think this team plays near as well on grass and I think that is part of the reason we struggle in SF, and one key reason we lost today.

We don't look near as effective away from the turf.

So the game plan was to play soft so Rivers doesn't have to force it? He can just neatly drop it in? Well that worked...

I started a thread about this very subject , I agree we don't look the same on grass.
