Name The Starting Defensive Backfield 2013

[swede]

See: Ferguson, Robert
He was having a breakout season before he got cloth lined. Never seemed to regain that form.

Bretsky thinks next year might be the year for Robert. You wait.

I was on the ferguson wagon also...I'll admit it

And I still think its damn cool that swede has me quoted. Might be the best thing I've ever said.

That is why he is so hard on him now. Robert broke his heart.

Plus there was the Chris Chambers aspect as well, making for an awkward love triangle.

:-> at the 'five yard rule'
There is, of course, no rule with regards to this. I recall a discussion about this a while back (like, a few years ago) and it turned out there was no rule allowing contact beyond the LOS at all! It's more of an 'understanding' than a rule.

A defensive player may not tackle or hold an opponent other than a runner. Otherwise, he may use his hands, arms, or body only:

(a) To defend or protect himself against an obstructing opponent.

Exception: An eligible receiver is considered to be an obstructing opponent ONLY to a point five yards beyond the line of scrimmage unless the player who receives the snap clearly demonstrates no further intention to pass the ball. Within this five-yard zone, a defensive player may chuck an eligible player in front of him. A defensive player is allowed to maintain continuous and unbroken contact within the five-yard zone until a point when the receiver is even with the defender. The defensive player cannot use his hands or arms to push from behind, hang onto, or encircle an eligible receiver in a manner that restricts movement as the play develops. Beyond this five-yard limitation, a defender may use his hands or arms ONLY to defend or protect himself against impending contact caused by a receiver. In such reaction, the defender may not contact a receiver who attempts to take a path to evade him.

There are some pretty good free agent safeties out there: http://espn.go.com/blog/afcsouth/pos...er-fa-safeties
