Removal of high-low chop blocks and Aaron Donald

[Merlin]

Gotta think the rules change benefits him. He's already the closest thing to an unstoppable force you can get in the NFL on the DL, and it's gonna get better for him and the Rams now that teams can't high-low him.

I'm thinking he might hit 15 sacks this year along with a commensurate boost in TFL.

I think you're right, and I think it's a great rule change.
Some of the coaches are bitching that it's gonna put the clamps on the run game, but I seriously doubt that.

Great! Now if only refs will be more consistent about holding calls. Those nasty holds against Quinn likely sent him to the IR last season

That rule change just took out half Arizona's playbook

Same for Denver's. I worry about the Denver pre-season game though. They will probably be rolling at knees at that point.

Wait, I'm confused. Hasn't this rule been enforced for some time?

No. Chop block rules get adjusted but this is going to ban combo chops which will be a significant change. Donald is gonna feast.

Yup he is going to get into the other teams backfield a lot more often. It'll be fun to see that........I love seeing him just totally snuff out a play in an instant. It's great when that happens and I always say to myself "welp, that only took 2 seconds".

I was sure at first, but now that I read all of this, I'm a happy camper!! Let's see Donald in a race with Quinn for the NFL Sack Trophy! Yes! The " Deacon Jones award come to the Rams their 1st year back in L.A., Great Head-Lines !!:yess:

Thank you, brotha!

This certainly doesn't help Rahney. It was his go to move.
