After the season is over, I will be banning the use of the punt block exploit.

Glad this'll be overwith. Especially after what our boy Smirt211 just did in the divisional game.

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY


All use of the punt block exploit is banned from the league. Anyone using it going forward will he subject to removal from the league.

Please, let's just play on an even playing field without this unfair advantage.

The punt block exploit is simple...putting fast DBs, WRs or RBs on the front 4 of the defensive line during punt return formations

Front four.

I respect SS's abilities and this is the Big Game so being upfront and disclosing - I'm going to power up the wings. (2 wing spots)

As long as the rules are followed....nobody on the front four under 237 pounds. I have no idea what someone means by wings because some have said it the ends of the front four, others have said its the players offset 1 yard behind the defensive ends.

Isn't that one in the same?

Not the 4 gunner spots and not the front four, which leaves the 2 spots you allow pressure from. I -think- I'm good!

Front four = LBs and DTs.

Crazy Razor knows what happened to me in another league so I'm just trying to power up within the rules and have a layer of protection.

I don't think he is doing anything nefarious. He is just protecting himself as best he can. What he is saying has a lot more to do with protection than the actual deed. Nobody is planning to break the rules. He has every right to defend himself; just know that I will do the same.

I'll triple check, which I've already done. (LBs and DEs at the line) Gotta evaluate opposing GMs before the Big Game. It's crazy but everything counts and matters.

I took the hit but I faced a powered up opponent in a non-punt block league and he caught me for 2 punt blocks in a Title Game which presented him two gift wrapped touchdowns. On my side I was 100% set up in pass blocking with no applying pressure on punts. Sim engine said 'you done, fool' and that was that.

It's really tricky. This whole punt block bs. :(

Ok...but I haven't banned punt blocks in any league just the use of underweight players on the front 4
