Eric Berry sez, "WTH took you so long?"
Now if they would just ban horses in NFL stadiums...
Defensive players’ knees have just been given some extra protection. NFL owners voted today to ban “roll up” blocks to the side of a player’s leg. These blocks were already illegal from behind, and now the owners have agreed to add the words “or side” to the rules preventing blocks to the knee from behind. For years, as the NFL has instituted new rules designed to protect quarterbacks and receivers, defensive players have asked, “What about us?” Today’s vote shows that the NFL has listened. And listening to defensive players is long overdue. A defensive player shouldn’t have to worry about his knee getting blown out by a block he can’t see coming. Just as defensive players have been taught to lower their targets and not hit offensive players in the head, offensive players can be told to raise their targets when blocking from the side and hit the midsection, not the knees. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...a-players-leg/ |

Now Stevie Johnson should be forced to stand still and allow Eric Berry to take out his knees.

Not true because when Denver does it they will be considered legal. Remember, they get to play by a different set of rules...

Good start... Now they should make a rule not allowing the OL to hold the DL as they rush the QB. That would be helpful.
