Suggested rule changes for the NFL

[BWillie]

1. Eliminate roughing the kicker. If you make a reasonable attempt to block the kick you should be able to smoke the kicker.

2. Make pass interference a 15 yard penalty. They call is so often. I really dont know why teams just dont go deep everytime.

This drives me crazy on 3rd and 15 or more. Hate it when teams call a "give up" screen, draw or short pass that rarely get the 1st down. Why not throw it 50 yards downfield? The risk is an int which is almost like a punt. The reward is a 50 yd completion or PI penalty.

Still remember the Miami ND 3rd and 43. Straight fly pattern. On 3rd and 43 in today's game they would throw a 7 yard in and scream at the ref to call PI or defensive holding
