NFL Posts The 2016 Rule Book Online
NFL posts the 2016 rule book online
Posted by Michael David Smith on July 4, 2016, 9:42 AM EDT http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...e-book-online/ Before you complain about the officials this season, you’ll want to make sure you actually know the rules. Fortunately, the NFL has published the entire 217-page rule book online. The whole rule book is available as a PDF here.The most noteworthy part of the rule book, which is on Page 2, where it identifies the changes to the rules this year. Those include: 1. It is now a delay of game penalty if a team is erroneously granted a timeout. 2. The offensive and defensive play callers can use the coach-to-helmet communications system regardless of whether the coach is in the booth or on the sideline. 3. There is no longer a five-yard penalty for illegally touching a pass after being out of bounds and then re-establishing inbounds, but it is a loss of down. 4. The line of scrimmage for extra point kicks is permanently the 15-yard line. 5. Touchbacks on kickoffs are now moved to the 25-yard line. 6. All chop blocks are illegal. 7. The horse-collar tackle rule now includes a defender grabbing the jersey at the name plate or above. 8. A player who gets two fouls for certain kinds of unsportsmanlike conduct is automatically ejected. 9. Multiple spots of enforcement for a double foul after a change of possession have been eliminated. |

There's also a link in another thread on how to construct a Banana and Mayo Little E sandwich! Just as a sidenote.

Vegas oddsmakers are rushing to downgrade the over/under on Broncos wins. Also known as the Von Miller rule.

They actually have to call the penalties on him first.

Touchback rule is weird. Kickers are going to want to avoid them. Why Couldn't they just go back to the old kickoff spot and keep it at the 20?

The extra point is a joke and now they stupidly change the touchback. Just keep tinkering and making the game worse by the year.

8. A player who gets two fouls for certain kinds of unsportsmanlike conduct is automatically ejected.
What kind of vague bullshit is this? Certain kinds? Which kinds? Is it always the same kinds or does that change depending on the Vegas line? |

This. If the "certain kinds" of fouls can't be established in the rule boo, why Mae a rule?
