    So what happened..because I thought the rule for years was you couldn't push your own runner from behind him to get him over the line?

    When did that change?

    Ban it, it is not a football play. It is a Rugby scrum.

    It's not in the Steelers' playbook since they are usually in third or fourth and long situations.

    I thought it was funny... And then I tried to actually follow up with the Average yards to go on 3rd and 4th down. Seemed simple enough, but for the life of me I couldn't find this stat anywhere. Every site kept wanting to show me conversion stats, not actual yards to go stats.


    FYI. the Steelers had the 2nd worst 4th down conversion percentage in the NFL last year at 36%. The Eagles came in 3rd at 71%, Josh Allen and the Bills at 74%, and the king of the 4th down conversions was Washington at 79%

    Should only be allowed when tomlin is standing in the exit doorway and only if he refuses to go.

    Wouldn't be the first time <Cough>Mel Blount<cough>

    Which is why you know it'll never be banned. Every time they change a rule, it's ALWAYS to the benefit of offense. Give defenses a fighting chance??? Lunacy!

    Repeal the Mel Blount rule!
