On leaping the center, I'm torn. If it's a true player safety thing, then fine I guess. But every change everywhere seems to make it more and more of a quarterback-driven league, and I'm not a big fan of that trend.
On full time refs -- sure, if it is thought it will improve the quality of calls. One concern someone posted is that alot of refs make good money in their "other" jobs and so it might reduce the field of good referees.

It's the long snapper but yeah they line up in the center position and it seems like a good change.

I've got no issue with leaping as long as it's unassisted. I mean, the only player at risk is the jumper...are they going to outlaw all jumping on the field?

Apparently the NFLPA is strongly behind the "no leaping" rules change. Concerns that someone is going to break his neck when his ankles gets clipped is the prime motivator.

Yeah, long snapper, though technically they can't leap him. Need to leap the LS/guard gap, as we saw during the SB (though the refs blew that call actually).

They need a committee to review the fairness refs give in games. Such as NE and Denver. Review games of how many holding calls and things they call and miss on both sides and see if a team is getting an unfair advantage do to refs favoritism.
If they start seeing a trend and hold these refs accountable then I think we could see better officiating down the pike. |

It's my understanding that refs at every position (line judge, etc. etc.) are graded for every single game. Every call, and every non-call. Then those with the best grades are the ones that make the playoffs. The ones that do the best are then assigned to the Super Bowl. What, beyond that, are you suggesting?

It's dumb to get rid of the leaping on FG's. Taking away fun plays don't make the game better morons.
