I think there's an easy fix to the bumping the receiver problem. I agree that the rules as implemented this year went too far. CB is a worthless position to have a stud at now. WR's now just have to get past an initial bump and then become home free.
I believe a simple change of allowing chucking by the defender within 10 yards will keep good CB's in the game and require receivers to work to get to the no-chuck zone, while still keeping the integrity of what the league is trying to accomplish intact.
Your thoughts?
