I agree. FOB is more realistic to me. In addition, if o-line spacing is at least half a base apart then that makes for realistic holes in the line for both the running back AND linebacker to squeeze through. This is more conducive to FOB tackling then watching a locked scrum move up and down the field.

I agree, we play with one base width between each player position on the field, and 3yards minimal lenght between players alignements. So staking is not possible. Add FOB to that, and you see (in our beginner way of playing) a lot less not intented tackles
EDIT : I suddenly wondered myself if we were speaking about the same thing :
for me the FOB tackling rule is that : the defensive player can ONLY tackle making a contact
between his own front base side (and front corners)
and anywhere on the offensive player base. In one word, the front of base and front corners of bases rule concerns ONLY the defensive player.
Do you agree with that ?
