Originally posted by In the Corn View PostWhen a team has a set formation, let's say 1 RB, 3 WR and 1 TE, they have a set of plays. Perhaps they have a pass play called, The QB looks at the defense and realizes that a run can exploit a weakness in the alignment. QB has to think, "How many times has X RB carried already,"I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...

Originally posted by Ken View PostThere's more nuance than that though right? You are at the 5 with a pass play called, your primary RB, who is on the field, has 1 carry left. On a pre-snap read, the defense shows weakness towards a run, but do you audible to a run and take a chance that he only takes it to the 1 and you are left without a reliable RB to punch it in?---------------------------------------------

Originally posted by Ken View PostImpossible is taking it too far, but it would certainly change the game in ways that were not intended. Doesn't sound reasonable to me.---------------------------------------------

Originally posted by The Feral Slasher View PostIs getting tackled 40 times a game by large human beings "reasonable" ? I think there is very little about modern football that is reasonable. I'm not proposing for limits, I merely wondered if the science and health concerns could someday lead to that. And if it does the reasonableness of impacting audibles late in the game won't be a deciding factor.

Originally posted by revo View PostAt this point, Bell and his agent have their cards on the table and are all-in on their gambit -- there's now no reason to believe we see Bell back before Week 11. What a blindside wipeout of a Top 2 pick.
And it makes me start to wonder, will the Steelers even want him back at that point? And if not, what options do they have to keep him away?

Originally posted by revo View PostWeek two and no sign of Bell. I think anyone who drafted Bell knowing of his holdout gambled and lost.
Originally posted by revo View PostThey are a potential championship team, so I think management would welcome him back with open arms — for this season only. Right now, they’re getting Bell-like production without a Bell-like contract. Win-win.
About the championship, let's see if it was all Patrick Mahomes or if the pass D is really that porous. Count them, 5 incompletions and 11.3 YPA.
