Shabby, this thread was supposed to be about lineman. However since you mentioned angling recievers after the catch then I will say this- if you only know how to play smash mouth corner back techniques and consistently allow recievers to get past your corners (even by 2 yards)then yes there will be a lot of yards after the catch. That is the whole point of the rule, to promote various styles of playing pass defense and to promote speed on the outside instead of smash mouth power (which I think is unrealistic).

Joe,
You are probably right 3 pre snap angles would make sense.
Your thought process on angling recievers is exactly like mine in the fact trying to promote a more cerebral pass defense.
Shabby,
I am aware of the technique of passing to redirect the reciever with the ball. The boys in the DFW do it very well. However I would like to see Coaches be pressed to be creative on defense to overcome this. So I am actually suggesting an offensive freindly rule to provoke the the defense to up thier level of play.
FinFan,
I would like the ability to throw a block.
