No-Decoy Rule Aims To Limit Pass Deception In Football
At Colorado Springs January 4, football rules changes were approved by the national rules committee in its annual session. Aimed at reducing decoys and long passes, the changes include 15 yard loss for an ineligible forward pass and a three yard neutral zone for ineligible players until after a pass is thrown. Also recommended are thicker thigh and knee pads, a headguard, and softer rubber cleats to improve safety. The panel emphasized fewer decoys and more reliable pass defense, with enforcement guided by coaches' recommendations.
