Gary has been pushing quite regularly this year during the CBS game of the week for a few rules changes.
First, he suggests that if the ball carrier lowers his head to initiate contact that the play should be blown dead at the point of contact. (Listen to him when Hurd runs over the UGA defender)
Secondly, he suggests that blocks behind the play that are not with the flow of the game should be illegal. (He stated this during his commentary of the last 2 games on CBS)
First question do you agree/disagree with his rule suggestions?
Second question, do you feel that as a commentator he is appropriately/inappropriately leveraging his position of influence to get the rules changed?
Please discuss.

The last thing that football needs are more rules that restrict physical play. It will just lead to more subjective and overly tight enforcement of those rules by the officials. The targeting foul called on Emmanuel Moseley being exhibit A.

If anyone really wants to be serious about making CFB more safe, they would look into requiring teams to practice without helmets. Teach self-preservation skills on both sides of the ball, then add the protection of the helmets in for game time.

Studies have been done showing this as more effective than trying to create body armor to withstand more and harder contact.

Try this for a couple of seasons and watch the game save itself.

I sorta agree with the ball carrier part. It's not fair to the defender that the carrier can hit helmet first but if the db does that he gets penalized, course my solution is to just get rid of that penalty all together.

Butch should appeal Moseley's suspension to the league office, he clearly turned his head to the side and led with the shoulder. Text book tackle the way it was taught.

According to everything I've read the suspension can't be overturned because it technically has already been reviewed(during the game). He can submit it the the SEC but they can't(or won't) do anything with it, other than maybe say it was a bad call.

Maybe we could create a third rule for them called the Tebow man hug rule or something to that effect.

Both rules are dumb. Asking a running back to essentially run with his head straight up is silly. Lowering your head is instinctual and usually for protection, not to punish the tackler.
The second rule is even worse. You can't block a guy that is behind the play? So any player running down someone from behind can't be blocked.......so stupid. How many guys are caught from behind and prevented from scoring virtually every game?

At first I was afraid he has been following bob costas and pushing a stupid liberal agenda when given the chance. But after reading, these agendas are just as dumb

I agree with him about some of the blocking away from the play. Some of the peel backs are getting to be ridiculous.

Only need to block in the direction the ball is going...

I agree with his line of thinking but not with the 2 thoughts he had.
In MS if the runner lowers his helmet and creates helmet to helmet it is a 15 yarder.
I teach my kids if the ball is in front of you let it go, its not worth a penalty such as a block in the back.

I think the blocks, clearly behind the play, when a player gets blindsided could be made illegal without any effect on the game. A running back not be able to lower his head would be extremely difficult to judge and call. Don't agree with that one.

Is this an exam question?

ALthough I couldnt agree more, it was the worse targeting call to date. There is no appeal. Butch can send the play to the SEC office like every team does to express concern, but there is no official appeal process. It will not be turned over.:loco:

His agenda is pointless. Anybody with any sense realizes how terrible he is at his job and dismisses anything he says during a broadcast.

Who cares what he says. He's just going Saban. Yeah, we all want 6 hour football games with refs screwing up more calls/replays. Do refs/replay officials have to get eye tests anymore? Gary...just sit in the corner and color.

GO VOLS!

Danielson needs to be the color analysts for a flag football league. I started to say the Lingerie League, but those girls also may play a little too physical for Gary's tastes.
