[Iron Eagle]

As someone who just returned to the hobby about a year and a half ago, this topic is very interesting to me. I do feel that the learning curve to get back in is very steep if you want to play competively. However, I have no trouble with the TTQB. I also have no issue with the passing sticks. I think that leagues should allow both. The reason why I feel this is because I am disappointed in what I am seeing happen on the field.

While I love a good defensive battle as much as the next guy, I still think we need to make the game more free flowing. When the TTQB is used exclusively, coaches tend to just put 9 guys in the line of scrimmage every play. This bottles up the run game and DB's are allowed to commit defensive holding and maul receivers and we call it coverage.

I would like to see something a little more sim without having to resort to multi-stop games. like multi-stop also, but I know a lot of coaches don't care for it ecause it slows down the pace of the game.

I think the sticks tend to make defenses play more honest and not put 9 in the box. I also would like to see more rule sets where if receivers are jammed, the DB is required to let him go after sayone second and run with him. That or adopt the traditional Miggle rule where the two most outer receivers are not allowed to be pushed against directly.

Just my perspective.
