1 yard out Wimbush falls forward for a TD, never understood why teams line up 5 or 7 yards back on the goaline, maybe BK can finally tear my screaming through the television.

Coaches are sneaking less and less on the goaline because of concerns over head I juries to their quarterbacks. The quarterback becomes defenseless as he goes over the top of the pile and linebackers are roaming close to the LOS looking for kill shots. There have been tons of head / neck injuries over the years and for that reason coaches are shying away from it.

I took a terrible blow to the head on a QB sneak in a practice my freshman year of university while running the scout team. Probably my third concussion (but first diagnosed one) and it was brutal. Pinched a nerve in my neck and ended up with a shoulder stinger all in one play. People get hurt when the game is being played at half speed.
