1. Raise the number of active players on game day from 46 to 49 for regular-season games played on a day other than Sunday or Monday, excluding Week One. TABLED 2. Raise the practice squad limit from eight players to 10 players. TABLED Hope those get passed next year. 13. Enforce defensive fouls behind the line of scrimmage from the previous spot, rather than from the end of the run or from the spot of the foul. PASSED 11. Don’t stop the clock on a sack. PASSED 8. Protect players from getting the sides of their legs rolled up on — the rule already says a blocker can’t hit an opponent in the back of the legs, this proposal will add “or side” to the rule. PASSED In all cases I agree. 6. Put six cameras on all boundary lines — sideline, goal line, end line, to guarantee coverage for replay reviews. TABLED What is the fucking hold up? Why only 6 shouldn't it be 12, one at each end of each line? 5. Move the line of scrimmage for one-point extra point kicks to the defensive team’s 25-yard line. Two-point conversion attempts would still be snapped from the 2-yard line. TABLED. Really, we couldn't just nip this in the butt and be done with this stupid suggestion? 12. Modify pass interference so that it can be called within one yard of the line of scrimmage. TABLED This would have been interesting. |

#12 isn't great news for "press-CB's"...if passed. |

What is the deal with the rule that the clock doesn't stop on a sack? When has it ever stopped on a sack? |

Hell, I totally read the rule I quoted wrong. They are extending the uprights to be taller. I read it that they were raising the CROSSBAR, which is not what they're doing. |

The clock has always stopped on a sack, just that its only until the refs spot the ball, which usually only takes a few seconds, then it starts running again. Its the same as the clock stops when you run out of bounds, but starts running against unless its the final 5 minutes of a half. |
