What makes a wing to my back so important we want to leave the middle of the field open?
Local associations shouldn't be making these decisions, was my point. If the state wants to use their own mechanics, fine, good on them.

I am not an advocate of that mechanic. But to suggest that we only have to follow what the NF says, when the NF does not change with the times or improve on old mechanics, then I can see why states would want to find something else. The NF is not God and they certainly cannot tell each jurisdiction how to officiate the game. We are not talking about rules here, we are talking about mechanics. There are all kinds of situations that have changed in the game and to do something that was done only when no one passed the ball and everyone was option is not a good idea if you ask me.
