Blocking on offense
 

We've just added this to our rules: After a WR or RB catches the ball and is angled, All offensive players (not engaged with a defensive player) can be turned to block for the ball carrier. Then the defense can turn their unengaged players. This is done also on a running play: If the RB has the ball and is running, you can stop the switch and adjust the RB (If he is no more than 7 yds. past the line of scrimmage) then players can block as stated above.

Anyone else plays like this? We've scrimmaged with this new rule and it opens up the running game.

I like this.. Ive always wondered why we play that the offense doesnt get to throw blocks downfield , but the defense gets to make all the adjustments.

I like it
 

After the catch the receiver can be angled and any unblocked defensive player can go after him.I like that rule and will use in my rule set!!

We have discussed this in Tornado Alley. I like it.thmbsp$

yes I find this a fun way to play. One way to add this wrinkle and still keep the pace of the game fast is to allow 3 players max (both offense and defense) to be adjusted on the stoppage. It can get to be a slow game when manipulating every player multiple times in one play and there are usually only a few primary players that can have an impact anyway.

Now that sounds like something worth trying.thmbsp$

GREAT IDEA
 

JOHN,

This idea will open up the game for a player to get addl yardage. This is actually thee second or third stop in the MPFL system. Players can block when the board stops.

long time being done...
 

we (BEFL) have been doing this for some time. Works great for running screen plays and stuff.
