wheez the roux posted:you hear all the time about passing stats not being comparable between different eras because of the differences in the game like the rules regarding passing, new styles of offense, how defenders are allowed to play the ball, etc. I'm curious if there's a similar argument to be made for the run game and if so, what it is. I mean I feel like if there are any notable differences they aren't anywhere near as important as those that affect passing but I could be totally wrong I can't find anything to back me up on this right now but I've always heard waaaaay back in the day they used to call holding incredibly tightly, like you just couldn't engage a defensive player at all with your hands. If that's right loosening up the holding rules is probably one of the bigger things that happened. I did find something that claims holding used to be a 15 yard penalty up until 1974, changing to 10 probably helped a little I guess. All the recent stuff from here seems to slightly favor the defense in the run game other than maybe the horse collar rule. They've slowly gotten rid of chop blocks except in a certain situation (interior linemen lined up next to each other on a running play is all that's left now I think?), you used to be able to clip guys wherever you wanted to instead of at least trying to make it look like a cut block now. If they ever actually get rid of cut blocks it's going to make running a hell of a lot harder. e: Didn't think about looking at college rules, maybe I'll try to see if anything jumps out there later.

RG3 is completing almost 70% of his passes this year, while taking sacks a rate that would make Alex Smith blush back in his late 49ers days. It seems like he just doesn't want to throw the goddamned ball unless he's almost sure he can complete it (and then have it turn into an interception anyway), which is really sad. I remember him being super aggressive at Baylor and in that first year

Metapod posted:well if andy reid could get his hands on him I think rg3 could become what he was supposed to be Has no chance of happening unless maybe everyone else in the world passes on him, but I wouldn't mind this. Feel better about taking a chance on turning RG3 around while backing up Smith than I do getting something out of Aaron Murray or Tyler Bray.

Ribsauce posted:When you look at what Washington gave up it is way more brutal than blowing either of those picks. Leaf and Russell only cost the teams one pick (1st and 2nd, we all know that though), while the Rams got 8 picks out of the trade (since they traded 1 Washington pick for like 3 others). Washington gave up the number 6 pick, number 2 pick, number 22 pick, and a 2nd rounder that became Janorous* Jenkins. The Chargers actually traded up a spot for Leaf, although I'm too lazy to go find out what everything turned into past looking at wiki for the original trade...actually check that I just remembered this thing exists and I used it to look up the Hershel trade a while back. San Diego acquired the second overall pick Ryan Leaf for: Eric Metcalf, Patrick Sapp, 1998 first round pick (#3-Andre Wadsworth), 1998 second round pick (#33-Corey Chavous), 1999 first round pick (#8-David Boston).
