The fundamental reasoning of rule 10 IS the problem. 😂
Do you mean to say you don't approve of the Expanded All But One principle where All Penalties are Enforced from the Basic Spot except for the singular unique one case where:
1) A fouls behind the basic spot, then the enforcement spot is the spot of the foul
1a) Unless (with no change of possession) the resulting enforcement spot is behind the previous LOS, then it is enforced from the LOS
1a(i)) Unless unless that foul was for illegal kicking, batting or forward pass or illegal participation
One) Or Unless the foul qualifies under Rule 10-5 for Special Enforcement Rules
I'm not against the *philosophy* of the rule change... it was just the mangled nature of how they actually wrote it down that is the problem. They can fix it without changing what the rule should have been last year.
We're putting our faith in the same incompetent editorial committee that gave us the table. Hopefully they don't double down and keep the table and bring back all-but-one with exceptions.
Yeah, I'm a bit worried that they're going to try to add to the current rule wording to patch the mistakes rather than just burn the whole thing down and start over.
I think they *can* bring back the ABO principle and modify it correctly, kind of like how I mentioned it above. They really should bring back ABO as a general philosophy -- or just straight up copy the Three-And-One principle from NCAA or NFL as those also contain the caveats for fouls in the offensive backfield as well.
