If Burfict lets the weight of his arm land on a QB he'll be flagged, especially if it's on 3rd down. I know it's ridiculous for me to say those words, but that's pretty much what I expect from the NFL these days. Just plain f'ing up the game with idiot rules that aren't actually helping anyone, but are affecting the outcome of games.
You have to wonder if the rule changes will force Dlineman to approach the game completely differently. It may be more effective to go exclusively for the ball and not even try to knock the guy down. Sounds weird, but is there anything else these guys can actually 'legally' do?
