ARLINGTON, Texas — Day two of Big 12 Media Days started off with a presentation from the coordinator of officials. Cowboys Ride For Free Tweeted a slide from the presentation that presented changes to the rule regarding blind side blocks. Well... it got some traction among players (and even fans) from Oklahoma State.
Remember those blocks from last year where Tylan blind sided defenders into oblivion? Yep, can’t do that anymore.
Essentially what this rules does is eliminate blind side blocking with forcible contact. It makes a blind side block where the receiver does anything like de-cleat the defender, a 15-yard penalty.
