I understood. While I agree in a hypothetical "NFL players with CFL rules" world the yard from scrimmage makes running relatively more attractive to NFL quality offenses, I think 3 downs is at least as meaningful of a change and would keep passing up. When you add the wider/longer field you'd get even more passing.
