NFL Owners Meeting: Rules Changes
So as I understand it, so far the NFL owners have decided the following:
1. rejected the "everything is reviewable" on replay suggestion. 2. adopted a rule change (suggested by Miami) eliminating peel back blocks. Such a block (then legal) resulted in the Texans' Cushing getting his ACL torn. Now it's a 15 yard penalty. 3. adopted a rule allowing an NFL official in a booth to stop action on the field and communicate with an official to remove a player who is exhibiting a medical concern such as concussion symptoms. 4. tabled for review/analysis a proposal to install cameras along sidelines and the goal line to improve angles for replay reviews. The NFL has cited cost as a major concern to adopting this proposal. As Belichick said last year "maybe we could have a car wash. Or a bake sale." 5. Made a slight tweak to the rules regarding completing a catch. Quote:
7. Defenseless receivers are now protected as such immediately following an interception. My assumption on this is that under the old rule, if the ball was intercepted, someone else could "block" receivers into oblivion. No more. Last edited by Amnorix; 03-25-2015 at 07:18 AM.. |
