Es ist mal wieder soweit: Die Owner diskutieren mögliche Regeländerungen in der NFL. Hier die wichtigsten, die zur Diskussion stehen:

[*]Permanently move the line of scrimmage for extra-point kicks to the 15-yard line, and allow defenses to return any misses.
[*]Make all chop blocks illegal.
[*]Eject any player who is penalized twice in one game for certain types of unsportsmanlike conduct fouls.
[*]Change the spot of the next snap after a touchback resulting from a free kick to the 25-yard line.
[*]Provide each team with three challenges and expand reviewable plays.
[*]Expand the definition of intentional grounding.
[*]Eliminate overtime in preseason games.
Vor allem zu der Regel mit den Personals hat sich Sherman ja am Wochenende geäußert und Goodell einen "Suit" genannt, der noch nie auf einem Feld gestanden hat. Nun sind wir uns glaube ich alle einig, dass es kein Problem für einen DE, innerhalb eines Drives in die Verlegenheit zu kommen, 2 PF wegen Roughing the passer zu kassieren und das dies etwas völlig anderes darstellt als Odell Beckham JR's Verhalten in den Playoffs. Ich bin mal gespannt, wie diese Nummer ausgeht.
Darüber hinaus hat sich der Präsident der Falcons, Rich McKay, zum Thema der Catch-RUle wie ich finde sehr interessant geäußert:
Zitat von Rich McKay“There’s been this talk about could we create a more objective standard, really, because of replay. And I think that they feel as on-field officials that would definitely hinder them as they use this objective standard of time, and in Troy [Vincent]’s case, they like the fact that it’s now tied into the same element as the safety element,” McKay said.
“We’ve got to remember that there’s over 18,000 passing plays a year. That’s how many passing plays we get a year. That’s 5,000 more than we had in 1990. And we end up every year, we do end up with — let’s say it’s a group of four plays, maybe it’s as many as six out of all of those in which we look at it frame by frame and say, ‘Maybe he got that wrong.’ But in reality, that official, that on-field official is officiating an awful lot of passes every game and getting them right.”
McKay added that the NFL probably hasn’t been clear enough in “making sure everybody understands how the rule is applied.”
Dez Bryant gefällt das.
