I implied that they would be more aggressive at going for the ball when I saw this:

He later conceded that receivers will occasionally lose yardage if it means coming back to the ball and avoiding an interception. I, for one, can live with that.

I take it they would be more aggressive in getting back to get the ball instead of the defender, so they'll be more aggressive in general. Plus how is that a bad thing like the article implies?

Also, I don't think I like the idea of the receivers running their route to the first down marker on their own. Each play has a certain design and should be followed. If the play calls for a 5yd curl, then I want the receiver to run a 5 yd curl. If I want him to run it to the first down marker, I will play maker him to run his route to the first down marker. The only time I wouldn't mind this is on option routes. I can assume that route based passing isn't in this years version either since receivers routes are gonna be varied, that means you're gonna have to wait until they make their break before you can throw the ball.

If I were to guess, it would be based on situation and they'll be more aggressive to get the first down on 3rd downs. Like you said most plays are designed for players to run the route in a specific way and they should be run that way.
