[Anthony D Burgess]

This is not the first time I have heard this type of question .

To help you must answer the age old question on how do you want to play this game ?

There is street football , flag , arena , and pro . All were birthed from pro football . but have been altered to fit a type of style . Many times the style may be good in some areas , and very bad in others .

Pro football fits into the mold of pro ball , but street , arena , and flag don't fit into that mold . You don't pull a flag in real football to make a tackle , you don't play 22 men on a arena football field . I'm sure you get the point by now .

So however you play , you play within that style , and if you don't like that then either you adjust to it or move on to another style that fits what and how you want to play .

You can't apply real football know how to a style that is not based on real football . ( Not downing other styles ) just want to bring out a point . If you want chicken then why are you fishing ? Go to KFC !
