Unfortunately, you can't police it. However, I agree with you.

Celo,

HURRY UP OFFENSE - Hurry up provides such a huge advantage but the idea is to keep the same personnel on the field. This rule achieves that purpose. Announcing it, to me, only means the the coach is recognizing what the players cannot because they are plastic, not people. The rule should stay as it is. It's perfect.

STACKING - I don't know why people even talk about this. I feel that restricting the rules in any way hinders the game. Adjustments is what takes the game to another level

SCRAMBLING - If you let me roll then scramble, don't put out your defense and don't ever worry about me throwing another pass. However, that is not what the game is all about, is it?

DOUBLE 2's - I don't believe in offsetting penalties unless they are man made. The game of chance is what the box presents. Any attempt to change that reduces it's impact on the game.

ONSIDE KICK - I agree that you should not be allowed to advance a fumble. IN COLLEGE BALL.

CHALLENGE - I like the fumble challenge also. That's actually a great idea. There are plenty of times when a fumble is called and the runner's knee is down. I like this Celo. ME TOO!

For some reason it seems to be more ambiguity with the rule set.

Everyone from out west lost their first game except Jeff Eby and all of you are great coaches. The rules transition is not an easy one. When you're not used to stacking and you forget to stack on a key 3rd down you can get runover for a big power run for a 1st down. When you're use to using 5 arrow bases on wide receivers and you're reduced to only 2 then your entire offense may have to change in a moments notice. Little things like that.

Which clearly points to the fact that if you do what you like now, you will pay for it later.

What annoys me is having to call out a receiver. What the heck is that? Bradshaw's back to pass, he points to Frenchy Fuqua but the ball goes to Franco who scores. Wait a minute, no he didn't. He is down right there because he wasn't the intended receiver. Hot garbage!

I look forward to hanging out again in Canton my friend!

Just my two cents
