I mean to say that the original quarterback sneaks involved pushing the quarterback. It was made a foul and has since stopped being a foul. You would assume that everyone will probably ultimately start pushing the quarterback, until someone is gruesomely and irreparably injured. And then it will be a foul once more. Until then, though............... How far back do we have to go to find when a ball carrier was allowed to be pushed by his teammates? The 1950s? Earlier? I mean Chuck Mercein came up behind Bart Starr in the 1967 Ice Bowl. Of course, Mercein was so concerned that he had violated the assisting the runner rule that he held his arms up to try to indicate that he had not, in fact, assisted Starr. The penalty was called more and more seldomly over the years and teams became more and more brazen. It was never a point of emphasis to call more assisting the runner penalties. |

I think it's illegal on defense also. I think it was the 2006 civil war when tsdtr had two kicks blocked. It was very clear on replay. Piscatelli got right behind Siegert, put both hands on his hams, and pushed. On the last kick, Siegert blocked it with his face mask.

Well there's an interesting tidbit I did not know previously! |
