We can stop 3rd and 4 better than we stop 3rd and 10. That has to be a scheme problem.
White threw an inaccurate pass, White stopped himself there.

This is becoming a serious problem now - 3rd and long defense is abysmal.

As I watched multiple games on Sunday, it was impossible to ignore.
In game after game, players were stopped by a horde of defenders, only for a group of their teammates to rally to the pile, pushing the whole mass of humanity for an extra 3-7 yards.
When it happens, it looks less like pro football and more like a rugby scrum.
I've been reading a book called How Football Became Football: 150 Years of the Game's Evolution, and in it, I learned that American football used to look a lot like what we've seen recently: huge piles of humanity pushing on each other, fighting for every yard. Basically, it wasn't far removed from rugby when it began. Players even had loops sewn onto their pants for a time for their teammates to grab onto to either push or pull them more easily.
One of the earliest debates in football was how to spread the game out, make it less dangerous, and less of a tedious "three yards and a cloud of dust" affair. These "momentum plays", as they called them, lead to a ton of injuries, and to a frankly ugly, more brutish, less exciting form of football. The ability of a running back or receiver to gain yardage is de-emphasized in favor of the ability of a group of players to push harder than another group of players.
After years of this ugly, rugby-style pile pushing, rule changes in football eventually disallowed it. For most of the history of modern pro football as we know it, pushing or pulling the pile in the manner we have recently seen has not been allowed. In 2006, a rule change made pushing the pile legal again (though pulling is still technically not legal). For whatever reason, it took until this season for it to really become as common and prevalent as it has.
The question is, should it be allowed? Are these big pile-push scrums really American Football? I'm curious to know how other football fans feel about this issue.Should be illegal, like it used to be.

That was a catch? He bobbled it all the way out of bounds...if he touched the white.

Should have dialed up a better play. I agree with going for it there, but that was a horribly designed blocking scheme.
I've heard of this mythical play where the center gets a tap from the qb, he snaps it, and they both lunge forward for about 30 inches. Seems too crazy to work, but what do I know?

Want to be thankful for good things but how do you lose yards on 2nd and 1
Feels like they oscillate from full on throw it all over the field to Dick Juron's approach. Hopefully they find the happy medium that allows them to just roll soon.

Feels like almost every game this season. We are dominating but letting an inferior opponent hang around.
Dominating until Dorsey's Xanax wears off.

I don’t like that. It stayed in his grasp and never touched the ground. But that’s the rule.
Tis a stupid rule, but a rule.
