• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Had a lively discussion with a friend this weekend. The subject was the officials holding the offense from running plays until the defense had a chance to substitute. It's a silly rule.

My friend said it was only fair that the defense had the opportunity to substitute if the offense does. ??

The way I learned to play football and did play was the offense could do anything and it was incumbent on the defense to adjust, be called for too many players on the field if substituting, be out of alignment or have to call a timeout. He said that wasn't fair in this age of hurry up offenses. Again, either have the defensive players adjust or be caught with wrong personnel or call a time out.

If fairness is what the reasoning for the official to stop play. Why isn't the offense simply mandated to give the defense the play? Or maybe give the offense the defenses alignment--after all it's unfair for the defense to play a zone defense when the offense thought they would be in man to man.

I think the rule is that if the offense makes substitutions, the defense must be allowed to do the same...if the offense chooses to go with what’s on the field, there is no allowance....I think it makes sense. The offense has a distinct advantage in the situation as it controls when the ball is snapped. This is not the game you or I played...
“hurry up,” mass substitution and specialization is a constant part of today’s game.

I know what the rule is but it's still silly. I played and the majority of football was played (until recently) where the defense made adjustments or got caught. We never had to give the defense the opportunity to match substitutions.

I know it is but if the offense subs then the defense should play them with what they have on the field or run the chance of being offsides, too many men on the field, out of position or with the wrong players. Currently the offense makes a sub and the defense lollygags while the play clock tics off seconds. That's unfair to the offense. What this does is take the ability of the offense getting an advantage on the defense which is what football is/was about.

So the offense, being able to make strategic substitutions against what they see on the defense and controlling the snap is fair but allowing the defense to counter is not? Gotcha...
