make some guidelines on styles of tackles, like for instance id rather be hit above the thigh, i dont think i would like a lil fast guy taking my legs out.

Ok, how about this...
No hanging high **aka full blast clothes line, shoulder/arm to opponent's neck, etc**
No slide-tackles **seriously now, this shit is for soccer, not football**
No spearing **no blindside shots to the back or side**
No face masks **if you're going to push an oppoent off to keep from getting tackled, push off his chest, not face**
No excessive force **if you can make a clean tackle, there is no need for you to try and injure/kill your opponent**
Seminole, due to your size advantage you're going to have to expect that someone is going to try to get you down the only way that can. You can't expect an inexperienced 170lb kid to try to take you at your waist. That would be like shooting a BB gun at a freight train. If you're even mildly fast, you should be able to keep the ankle biters off.
Are these fair rules for everyone? If not, make suggestions.

yea , im fairly slow i guess, i play offensive line. there re ways to cut someone safely but a 180 pound guy coming in full speed will fuck me up.
how do you guys play, like a qb and all wr's or do you play a line or what?

How do we play? Well, many moons ago when I was a kid, we played any way we could, depended on how many players we got. :lol:seminole91 said:
Ideally I'd like to be able to play in a manner that allows us to have a line, QB's, DB's, etc. It's going to depend on player participation here too. I honestly can't see anyone here really getting aggressive to the point where they would someone's saftey in jeopardy in place of missing a tackle.
I think everyone will walk away uninjured, a little tired, and with a few new funny stories to tell about the others.

what about cleats, are they allowed?
Crazzy_Al
Mr. Hair Gel Overgeller
No, that rule is not getting over-turned. And here's why...jsxtreme said:
1.) If you get stepped on by someone with cleats (vs someone wearing sneakers) you're going to get fucked up! That shit hurts! Been there, done that, didn't like it!
2.) There is more of a challenge to run and stay on your feet withOUT cleats. This also helps level the field for everyone playing.
3.) For those people who don't have cleats, why should they be forced to go out and purchase a pair? This is just a fun game, not the Superbowl. :lol: Those who have cleats will be at an unfair advantage.
4.) Why are the 2 biggest guys here asking for cleats? You guys have more gravity planting your feet to the ground than the smaller guys here.

I am going to break each and every one of these rules on you the 1st chance I get!!!!!murph said:
In fact, I might arrive early with a big bag of rocks so that I can place them in an area of the field I will call the "tackle Murph's pussy ass here" zone. :lol: :roll:
