No Fun League in FULL effect...new rule changes

Originally posted by Kolohe:
Per Roger Goodell:

- QB's and receivers will where two flags on their hip belts.

- RB's will be given a 5 yard head start beyond the line of scrimmage.

- Defenses will only be allowed to blitz one defender.

- FG attempts will no longer be blockable, due to kickers only appearance in game.

- Players will be fined or suspended if called for pass interference.

Don't forget:

- Once past the line of scrimmage, interfering with the forward progress of the QB is illegal

- One defender per tackler, an assisted tackle is considered a personal foul.

- Only one pass rush move allowed per snap from one pass rushing defender.

- Any helmet-to-body contact is illegal.

- Scoring on defense is prohibited

- Any personal foul or pass interference on defense will result in the defense taken off the field for one whole play.

How about let's put this new rule in:

Playing football is illegal!

They said on NFL radio that in addition to the new rule proposals already mentioned, "Any hit on a QB that causes the QB's head to move will be illegal." I'm not sure what that entails.

It just came to me why all these rules are coming into play. The NFL wants to cut down on injuries on paper so they can get their 18 game season. I guarantee you thats why.

I like this new rule change

The other major change involved instant replay. The booth replay official will now have to confirm all scoring plays, saving coaches from using challenges on plays in the end zone. To pass that proposal, the committee altered its suggestion by not changing the number of challenges for coaches. Now, coaches can make two challenges a game, but if they are correct on both, they would have access to a third challenge. The committee wanted to eliminate the third challenge.

They should just switch to flags if you ask me, with any contact being a 10 yard penalty....I'm sure Goodell would think it's a great idea.

those rule changes in the op didnt pass

In a surprising move, the NFL tabled the expanded language changes in the rule involving penalties against defenseless players. Last year, the NFL cracked down with heavy fines and possible suspension for hits on defenseless players. The competition committee wanted to spell out those rules with eight explanations of what would be considered finable hits on defenseless players.

So did that pass, or was it shot down? (The removal of the bonus challenge.)
