Me and Greg H talked about this.....
If you make it a rule that the box has to be shaken on every play, that would take the crutch feeling away.
If you would shake the box at the first stop on runs & after the pass is attempted you would take away the man running down the field then fumbling with nobody around but the defense recovers it.
Rick those guys were close to that guy in the video. Guys are talking about a man 30,40 or 50 yds down the field and a box gives it to the defense.
I'm not a big fan of the box, in the NEFL we have the clock that causes penalties, 2 defenders making a tackle makes a fumble. Ball carrier falls over is an injury, so everything is taking place on the field and taking the luck factor out of things.
With so many leagues playing the Shootout style, I think it may be time for the box chart to be tweaked? You have so many vets and great MF minds using that style, I'm sure somebody has a twist that can be added.
What you can not deny is the amount of excitement the box brings to the game. Just needs to be used on every play, and at the beginning of the play
the F.O.T.H. is Nat'l
