I always enjoy Chris Brown<br /><br />The risk of injury to a run QB in the NFL is apt ... defenses will seek to punish QBs that feature running as part of their game. I can't see how the NFL can change rules about that. QB in the pocket after a pass, yes; QB tucking and running, no.<br /><br />I wonder too about the role of generally superior defensive linemen in the NFL. In the college games I've seen where a spread offense goes up against a talented and athletic defensive line, it seems the D-line is capable of generating enough disruption to render the spread less effective. I'm thinking USC's defeat of Oregon two years ago, and LSU's defeat of Oregon in the opener a few years back, and Auburn's defeat of Oregon in the NC.<br /><br />It seems very talented defensive lineman have gone for a premium in the NFL draft the last several years. Might that affect the success of the spread in the NFL?DonAZnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-3035392437424204742013-08-02T16:39:11.904-04:002013-08-02T16:39:11.904-04:00Or her phoneOr her phoneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440694009017367434.post-63295989504262958632013-08-02T11:37:21.177-04:002013-08-02T11:37:21.177-04:00lol.
