Also, restricting BBw to linemen will improve the safety of the game.
I am not proposing that BBW be restricted to linemen. By current rule, a back may BBW in a couple of ways. One is, if they are within the TB at the snap, they may BBW toward the ball, but ONLY from the front. That is very difficult to officiate, and I’d like to to see that prohibited. Other types of legal BBW by backs are OK by me.
