"ILLEGAL HITS
NFL to be more aggressive with suspensions for illegal hits next season. Rules defining defenseless players expanded to eight categories:
• QB in act of throwing
• Receiver trying to catch pass
• Runner in grasp with forward progress stopped
• Player fielding punt or kickoff
• Kicker or punter during kick
• QB after change of possession
• Receiver who receives blind-side block
• Player already on ground"
sooo...are you supposed to wait for him to complete his throw before you hit him?

That one definitely needs some clarification.

QB in act of throwing
Um...yeah. So basically, every time a QB does not hand off. So basically, there is no longer any such thing as quarterback sack.
I don't honestly think it's this extreme....but we might as well bust out the flag belts and shorts.....no need for pads at this point.

Just have a qb back there with a massive pumpfake going on and you can get a 15 yarder every play. A qb like Big Ben can pumpfake hard and boom flag!

REPLAY CHANGES?
• Committee will propose making all scoring plays reviewable. Replay official would order replays on any touchdowns, field goals, safeties and extra points without the coaches needing to challenge. Similar to current system for final two minutes of each half and overtime.
Meh, if a team was wise they'd have their challenges

exactly, if a QB sees he is gonna get sacked, just quickly pump fake and get a 15 yard penalty

sooooo you pretty much have to let the QB throw the ball and let the receiver catch it? Well might as well get rid of the RB position because why run the ball when you get a free pitch and catch every time you throw it.

POTENTIAL rule changes, not new rule changes. POTENTIAL being the key word....doesn't mean they will all be accepted.

The fact that these rules are even being considered is cause for concern.
There REALLY needs to be some player oversight in determining these rules.
