You couldn't mug WRs anymore, but you could still play defense, and you could still lay the wood. It was the perfect combo for me....offenses could score, but defenses could still play. It's like a video game these days. Not a fan. Actually, now that I think about it, the late 80s up through the early 2000s was pretty good football.
I don't think any team with a QB like McMahon or Dilfer will ever win a SB again. The QBs today can hold the ball until they are bear hugged because the defense isn't allowed to tackle them below the waist or heaven forbid fall on top of them. To make it fair for the defense the QB should be down when touched with two hands. In its effort to protect the star QBs the NFL has ruined the game. When players are taught to tackle when young they are taught to hit at the waist down. Now if they do it to a QB they are fined $25000.
