I think it's a sportsmanship thing like tripping or leg whipping

that does make sense, and I'm sure it's pretty painful to take a hard shove in the back when you're unaware. Anyone who's had that happen to them knows it's not fun, your head snaps backwards and it strains your neck.

But I also think it's bullshit for defenders to play in a particular way in order to get penalties called. They can see the block coming, they know they're out of position and so they turn their back to the block to maybe stop a big play. They're fully aware of the block coming so there's no element of not being able to see it coming

Maybe my solution was garbage but I'm seeing so many of those penalties recently and I was wondering what people thought about that. Maybe there is no solution and it's best the way it is, it's just a bit annoying to watch

Apparently the rule was enacted in 2006, when I wasn't watching a lot of football. So I don't know whether it causes injuries because I haven't seen much football without that rule. I don't think I've ever seen a called block in the back result in an injury to the blocked player, although I'm sure you're right that it does happen.

For what it's worth I checked the rules and the refs are not supposed to call a foul if the defender turns away when contact is imminent. I would say they do that all the time regardless, but apparently that is part of the rule which makes me a bit happier.

Mormon who went to BYU for 5 years. So he did that two year church mission thing after high school and then spent 5 years in college.

e: There's a minor argument that comes up now and then that BYU being a Mormon school is a competitive advantage since so many of their recruits are two years older when they get there.

It might not be a mental thing though. If his funk is being too old physically I don't think he'll break out of that.

It really looks mostly mental. The kicks have plenty of strength to them, but he's pushing or pulling them.
