I really hope so...I absolutely can't stand when there is a 40 yard PI call on 3rd and 25 or some crap. Really is game changing.




NFL VP: Changing PI to 15-yard penalty a possibility


Rams coach and longtime NFL Competition Committee member Jeff Fisher made it clear last week that instant replay will be a major topic of discussion when the committee convenes next week in Naples, Fla.

NFL Media's Judy Battista spoke with Troy Vincent, the NFL's executive vice president for football operations, who explained that the league is receptive to change but is also hesitant to open "Pandora's Box."

"We do understand reviewing what was called on the field," Vincent said. "For a coach to potentially challenge something that was not called, we run the risk of creating fouls. 'Yeah, that was a hold. Yeah, that was an illegal hands to the face.' "

"We saw 12 different proposals on replay, which means it's something we have to look at," Vincent added. "You want to get it right but you could be creating fouls. And long term, if we start here, you just continue adding year in and year out and is that what you want? You don't want to go down the road of opening Pandora's Box and this year it's expanding this and next year it's expanding that."

Defensive pass interference enforcement is a topic to watch in the wake of the Lions' controversial playoff loss to the Cowboys. Vincent suggested an alternate solution to replay that would make PI a 15-yard penalty rather than a spot foul. There's concern that making pass interference reviewable would undermine game officials, who have to make difficult calls in real time.

"We must keep in mind that officials and players are moving at game speed, and those of us who are making decisions on rules have the luxury of slow motion video," Vincent said. "Sometimes game speed and rule changes aren't always compatible."

Giants president John Mara told Battista the proposal with the best chance to pass is allowing review of hits on defenseless receivers. Even that is far from a guarantee, however.

It had to be a spot foul or else you can just tackle a dude on a bomb when you're beat and just give up 15 yards instead of 50. So I am not in favor of that lol

When does that ever happen though? Usually it's a 40 yard bomb that likely isn't even going to be caught, little bit of contact, boom 40 yard PI call. Can't stand that shit.

What they could do though is have it similar to a face mask where one variety of the face mask is the 15 yard automatic first down and the other variety is a 5 yard penalty. The ref can decide if it was intentional (spot foul) or incidental contact or whatever (15 yards).

Is McCoy really that bad that they trade him for peanuts or does chip really just want his former players back at any cost?

I live in Philly. Eagles are basically taking a gameplan on rebuilding from the 76ers.

But for real, McCoy is entering his 8th year as a RB, has tons of carries, is due 25 million over the next three years. Sproles is on the team, RB has the shortest shelf life in the NFL, cheap replacements are everywhere. It's really not that bad of a move from a front office standpoint.
