Entry #: 3611579
| Currently, the Offense is allowed 2 pivots OR 1 pivot/1 motion after Offensive & Defensive set-up. Generally, these pivots and/or motion are made to RBs, the QB, or a combination of 1 backfield player + 1 wide receiver.
Why can't we allow an additional pivot (within the same 6-seconds)to at least one (1) O-lineman - either a guard, tackle, or center?
The reason I mention this is because sometimes the "D" will be aligned in an 'odd-front,' and an O-lineman can be out of position to make a block on an opposing D-lineman. This gives an unfair advantage to the Defense if the Offense isn't allowed to adjust one of its O-lineman (other than the TE) to get a better angle to make a block on a defender - which might be a "key block" on a particular play. The adjustment would be a pivot - NO picking up the figure and changing the dial on its base [if there is one] UNLESS the league wants to allow it as previously discussed on this forum, above.
Again, I'm not asking for more time to make pivots - just a rule change for a guard, tackle, or center within the same 6 seconds allowed for pivots-motion to RBs, QBs, or a WR.
