This pretty much drops every RB in the draft's stock by at least a full round.  And it ensures no power RB will ever again get a big payday.

Between this rule and the one they passed the other day about no blocking from behind in the tackle box, they are systematically eliminating running plays from the game.  Pretty soon it will just be Arena ball on a bigger field.  All passing, all the time.

Thank goodness Forte isn't a power runner to begin with... this rule change will hurt us less than other teams, but it will still be a problem.
