New Rules: 

 

1) Immediate Blitz/QB Eligible to Run

Teams on defense will be allowed 1 immediate rush each series. A defender(s) still has to line up 7 yards from line of scrimmage. Defensive player must yell out blitz if they choose to rush right away.

Once player blitzes there is no longer a 7 second count and QB is now eligible to run. You CANNOT blitz on PATs. 

If blitz occurs in the "no run zone", this is the only time the QB is eligible to run negating the no run zone rule. 

 

2) Defensive Strip While Receiver is in Process of Catch

Defenders are NOW allowed to strip ball while the receiver is in the process of a catch. Where as before this was called a Pass Interfence/Ruled a Catch.

Defensive players are ONLY allowed to punch out/deflect ball while receiver is in the process of a catch. Once the receiver completes the catch and makes initial move/step to run, defenders are then not allowed to punch out ball. 

Additionally, defensive players cannot make contact with receivers arms or go through their body while attempting to strip the ball. There will be no "winding up" to strip the ball either.
