Patriots Four Rule Proposals
The Patriots submitted four rules proposals for discussion at next week's NFL owners' meetings.
1. Goal posts extended an additional 5 feet above the cross bar. "The reasoning of this proposal is that definitive rulings cannot be made on many field goal tries that cross over the top of the goal post." 2. Make the extra point more challenging by making the line of scrimmage the 25-yard line. "In order to make the point after a more competitive play." 3. Place fixed cameras on all boundary lines -- sideline, end line, end zone. "To supplement the TV cameras and to guarantee coverage of those lines for replay, no matter where the TV cameras are located." 4. Coaches can challenge any officials' decision other than scoring plays. "To make more extensive use of the replay system." http://espn.go.com/blog/new-england-...rule-proposals Discuss. |

1. Yes. I like tall things.
2. No. There are better solutions. 3. Yes, as long as it can be done without impaling players. 4. No. Challenging holding calls and stuff will get boring fast.

They only have a limited number of challenges regardless of type.

#5. These rules shall not apply if they should inconvenience Thomas Brady or William Bilicheck or any other various and sundry part of the Patriots in any manner.
#6. A two point conversion shall be worth three points if the scoring player either runs or catches the ball while riding a tricycle.

I like them all but to me the 20 makes sense for a kick. Same as a touchback. Why 25, seems odd?

Folks on this site have shown little ability to discern a legal rub/crossing route and an illegal pick play. |

To me, and correct me if I'm wrong as I very well might be, an illegal pick is when a player runs a route that is aimed exclusively at hitting a defender with the goal of taking him out. Is she right?

We ran them for flag. you have to learn them and how to defend them. They are all pick plays. Just well disguised.

If guys are just running routes it's "incidental'. That's how it's called, and they still let guys get away with actively picking players (Reid does this all the time actually). |
