Amen! That is almost verbatim what I have been saying about it —*not as much as that's how some officials were calling it, but that's how coaches / players / fans think it

So true. I do think it makes the play more obvious though. It should be easier to tell if a defensive player had position or not. However, that doesn't mean that there won't be controversy!!
