Meaning the rule where its a catch when your feet aren't in bounds is no longer a catch? Good, thats the way it should be.

really? then the corner doesn't even have to play the ball anywhere near the sideline, just seems like a cheap way to get an incompletion.

I don't like how its a judgement call by the officials. Basically, what could be a catch one day, wouldn't be one the next day, depending on the official.

I guess we'll just see more jump balls over the middle of the field this season with lots of crippled receivers.

Lets not get carried away.

But I do like high scoring games, so the selfish part of me wants the old rule so there is more offense.

I agree with that, but between the force out being gone, and the new stiff arming rules the defense is gaining a significant advantage.

the incidental face mask is gone as well, not sure if that means less facemasking will be called, or if any touching of a facemask will result in the 15 yard version.

complete bullshit, the stiff arm rule is being called the marion barber rule. next year i see them stopping romo from rolling out of the pocket since that would hurt the boys as well.

"Then, I'm going to use the elbow," Barber said, jokingly, before adding, "I didn't even know. I'm going to have to read up on it. So you can't stiff arm at all? What about the throat?"
