Only when he is in a "passing posture"

Love this rule. I hate the targeting one but I like this one. Only cowards go low.

True, but if your about to get tripped, can you just act like your throwing? Kinda like drawing a foul in basketball?

Well you're most likely in a running posture at that point so I'd say no.

What would happen if a defensive lineman is crawling toward the QB and goes below the knee?

[drunkernhelldawg]

Little afraid it hurts our defense. I'm in favor of more protection for players, so hopefully it will help.

I am a little worried about this rule. I may just not know the whole rule but it seems to me that this one is a problem. What is a passing posture or i guess i should say what are they calling a passing posture?

I believe its only whenever you have a clear path, meaning no one is blocking you.

[War Machine Dawg]

Great, The Brady Rules are trickling down from the NFL. These "player protection" rules suck. Last I heard, you WANT to tackle a guy like Dak low, because he'll run you the **** over if you try to go high. Take out the knees, he's going down. Turrable.

[Johnson85]

I don't like it.

JFF would have never been tackled behind the LOS with this rule. I understand the goal, but if there's a shifty qb, the DL may not be able to get to them in any way other than by diving at them. You throw a penatly on them for every time a qb plants to throw after a DL is lunging for him and DL are going to be frozen.

U are so right that was my point who is gonna make the call to throw a flag,it will hurt the defense just wait if we are beating a team like lus or bama watch the flags come out to help them,

Unless it's Bama, Georgia, Florida, or LSU QB. Then they will always be in a throwing posture
