i don't know about any of the leagues you guys are in, but when a penalty is called, the yards gained don't go to the receiver. I think that will happen more this year which will suck.
i'm totally with paladyr. way more yards that no one gets points for. at the beginning you're gonna see a lot of penalties for interference which won't help your yardage and if it happens on td plays then you'll get a goal line run so wrs will be more valuable to nfl teams but not to ff teams. i also agree that it makes wrs deeper 'cause it'll even out the fast little guys with the huge guys to a degree. eventually the league will adjust either by the players figuring it out or the refs giving up and stop calling it and all will be pretty much the same. even if you disagree with me and think this will lead to more points for wrs, that might get you into the playoffs in your league but it won't help you win it 'cause by your playoff rounds the league will have adjusted IMO. that being said if the colts are in the afc championship game against the pats again watch out ty law, you're gonna get torched for 200yds!

it is going to help rookie WR much more then anyone else. Did anyone notice that Boldwin sucked last year when he was split out and had all his success in the slot position where you do not get jammed? The hardest thing for rookies to learn is getting off a jam....any veteran has this mastered and the rule will not drastically change there stats.

After 1 or 2 weeks, the DBs will realize that they are giving up lots of penalty yardage and are going to start backing off and allowing route runners and speedsters to get open, producing more numbers. It may happen more right at the beginning, but I say that the DBs play off the reciever more because of this, which will mean easier catches and better YAC.
IMO, this new rule, or rather new enforcement of an old rule, means bigger numbers for the smaller, speedster receivers, which in turn slightly lowers the comparative value of the big bodied fight for the reception types... Your T.O.'s are still going to put up the same numbers, but guys like Santana Moss and Steve Smith who make their money off of simply outrunning the coverage will be able to put up the same if not better numbers, early in the season, as your T.O.'s and Andre Johnson's...

Bingo!But I also believe it will help the physical guys as there is always a certain amount of fighting going on there,so it will look more obvious when they are looking harder for it.

I would love to see Law and the cheatin' Pats defensive backs get torched by Manning and the Colts in this year's AFC Championship Game.

The big SIX backs? PH, LT2, DM, SA, AG and who's #6?
