Packers guard Jon Runyan made a bold claim on Wednesday, stating that the NFL is trying to “phase out” quarterback sneak plays.
Runyan told Packer Central that he believes the QB sneak plays have been a point of emphasis with the league’s officials after the guard was flagged for lining up offside on two sneak plays in Sunday’s win over the Rams.
“I guess it was a point of emphasis with the officials,” Runyan said on Wednesday. “I wish we would’ve been told that for the first one. It’s something that’s got to be communicated better. That’s the NFL trying to phase that play out slowly.”
