#1 approved. We will all play games 1 & 10 with the average generic defense cards.
#2 A team may use generic defensive cards all season--voted down
#3 approved. Slot corners cannnot play in a standard defense
#4 approved. Halfbacks Fullbacks and Quarterbacks with 50 or less carries will be unhindered until their 6th carry when 1 or 2 on the third die will result in reading the “right” column for the remainder of the game
#5 unresolved. Free Safeties and Strong Safeties are freely interchangeable pending further discussion and voting. Regardless, no effect for this season.
#6 SOM rule prevails but inside the 20 yard line 1 player with rating equal to the defender is counted in the long pass zone. SOM rule is "If the safety actually blitzes, a sack does not occur and the offense throws a long pass then always refer to the “LONG PASS - 0 MEN” column of the defensive card no matter how many defenders are positioned in the long pass zone"
#7 Double Defenses--voted down
#8 approved. Tight ends that are not also Blocking Backs or Fullbacks may not play as Blocking Backs.
#9 unresolved. Other linebackers may not take over coverage by moving to flat zones.
#10 approved. In 2 tight end 2 wide receiver offense halfbacks are covered by right linebacker.
#11. approved. The roster limit for wide receivers is raised to 7.
#12. approved. The deadline and games played rules will be enforced.

With the draft quickly approaching, I believe we should resolve the situation with the safety position. This will not have any effect this season, but could for the next season which could impact draft boards and strategy.

Nickel Cornerbacks.
I believe our rule needs a little "flesh on the bones."
We passed a rule that Nickels can only play in a Nickel/Dime defense.
Query: If I bring in my "nickel" against a standard offense -- can my nickel cover a WR? Query: If I have 2 nickel CBs and I go "nickel" against 3 wides, can both of my nickel CBs play?

My impression of the rule was that you can bring in a NCB at his rating, but he cannot have man coverage responsibility unless the offense is in 3WR set. So I would think the first answer is No but the second answer is Yes.
Another point to hit is that we also allow a defense in a nickel to assign coverage to a TE if the offense is in a 2TE set. Will this rule still apply that the NCB can cover the 2nd TE (or choice of TE) at his given rating where the SS has usual coverage of the other TE? I think the answer should be yes the way the rule was written.

So I would think the first answer is No but the second answer is Yes. Why is the second answer 'Yes?' Why do I "get" to take a starting CB off the field and replace him with a nickel CB? It seems inconsistent. (Not trying to be picky, just want it ironed out before the season starts).

My interpretation would be if the defense is playing nickel and using a NCB against a standard offense, then the nickel has no coverage responsibility but cannot be assigned to any receiver. If in 3 Wr's, then the nickel can cover any of the 3 WR's.
Relative to 2 tight end sets,They should this be covered by the SS and LOLB? If there is no left OLB then then the 2nd TE is uncovered. I'm not sure if you can reassign coverage with the NCB on the uncovered TE but if so, then I believe the NCB would not be counted in any zone.

I thought we played that if D is in nickel and O is in 2TE then the D can choose whether to cover one of the TE's with the LOLB or the Nickel. Is that not our rule or was that an old rule we changed amd I'm just livin in the past?
