I could not believe this when I read it.

You can't use your forearm or shoulder? How exactly are you supposed to block downfield, with outstretched arms Pop Warner style??? This rule is complete bullshit!!!! You can't use your forearm or shoulder?? That is ridiculous. Lets see them try to enforce this next year. They will be calling penalties every other play.



"Fuck the fines, Keep Hitten'em Hines!!!!"

Funny how NFL.com paints Ward as frustrated by it, but the Trib says he is laughing about it.

I think that's pretty much what Hines is saying, too.

Yes, Hines is likely verified an HOF position now that a rule has been created to inhibit his unfair advantage.

He can now join Mel Blount as Steelers having rules named after them. Blount and his physical play were the impetus for the 5 yard bump rule.

NFL owners established the “Hines Ward Rule” this offseason in order to prevent a blocker from using his helmet, forearm or shoulder to hit a defender from behind or from the side.

"from behind or from the side"

hines will just have to make sure he is in front of the poor bastards. he usually is... just they aren't looking where they're going. not hines' fault.

The rule should be that if a dumb ass Bengal doesn't have his head on a swivel then Hinesy gets a free shot to split his chin.
The Steelers lose enough of their identity when players leave every off season via F/A. We certainly don't need the league preventing those who stay from continuing their legacy.

Cincinnati obviously hasn't learned shit. They went and drafted another Trojan alumni. Between what has gone down with Palmer and Rivers, Rey-Rey may want to consider playing against Pittsburgh in bubble wrap.
