Okay guys, what are you gonna do when the heavy team lines his linemen up base to base with no cracks in between, give the ball to the qb, and surrounds him with running backs? I'll tell you what you're gonna do, you are gonna play rugby my friends, and you ain't gonna like it. He is gonna push you all the way down the field and no looper will get by the fence of running backs.
Now the one thing he believes in is strength, so he sends off to Norbert, Jim, and Geno and he loads these big old dudes with the strongest bases on the planet. I don't care who it is, you won't have a chance, he will control the clock and keep the ball through most of the game.
The reason you have to have certain rules is to force guys to open up and get some game. Most leagues have at least 1 guy who would live off this play if you let him. He is the guy who won't try the TTQB no matter what. So you bring in line splits, formation rules, etc. just to make him play the game like football.
The guy I'm speaking of is the reason for the limits. Most of us use common sense and play by the rules, but there's always 1 who can't seem to set up with quickness or split his guys wide enough or use a formation that actually resembles football. He is the reason for standards.
