NFL May Eliminate Chop Block for 2016

This is a tough call. This would pretty drastically change what it means to be both an Offensive and Defensive lineman in the NFL. I hope the impact of this rule change is given the due diligence it deserves considering the degree to which it would alter things schematically on both sides of the trenches. I'm all for player safety but, personally, I just can't justify the advantage this gives the Defensive Lineman who no longer have to worry about whether they are getting blocked high or low. Overall, the run game has been falling to the wayside in the NFL for quite some time now, and this would just continue that trend.
