Like in 2015, when there was only offense? I'm not sure what we do with tippy robots being tipped, and/or aggressive plowing, but I know for sure that we shouldn't discourage defense with such a rule. There's nothing interesting or strategic about watching six teams do six things with no interaction. On the other hand, games like 2014 has me filling out new play sheets all the way through champs. This year's game already restricts defense more than necessary IMHO
