NFL owners OK replay change, other new rules

NFL owners on Wednesday approved a number of rule changes for the 2021 season, including a proposal to expand the scope of information that replay officials could provide to on-field officiating crews during games.

In other news regarding Wednesday's votes, NFL owners:

• Approved a relaxation of rules for the numbers that players of certain positions can wear because of expanded practice squads. Running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, defensive backs and linebackers can all wear numbers in the single digits now if they choose. Based on preexisting NFL rules, players who want to change their numbers this season will have to buy out the inventory of the NFL's manufacturing partners. This wouldn't apply to players who give notice in 2021 that they want to change numbers in 2022.
• Approved a one-year experiment in an attempt to make it easier to recover onside kicks. In 2021, the receiving team on kickoffs will be limited to nine players within 25 yards of the ball. Last season, NFL teams recovered only three of 67 onside kicks, the lowest total and recovery rate since at least 2001. As a result, the Philadelphia Eagles proposed that teams be given an option to gain 15 yards on one offensive play from their own 25-yard line to retain possession after a score.
• Tabled a rule that would have expanded the area where players are prohibited from blocking below the waist. McKay said that there is enough support to pass the rule now but that several teams had questions that will take some time to address. It could be revisited next month.
• Eliminated overtime in preseason games.
• Changed a rule that will now force a loss of down if two passes are completed behind the line of scrimmage.
• Approved a rule change that ensures the enforcement of all accepted penalties during successive try attempts, defined as an opportunity for a team to score one or two additional points during one scrimmage down.
• Did not act on a "spot or choose" proposal from the Ravens for the winner of the overtime coin toss. In that scenario, the team would have the option to choose either which team will have the first possession of overtime or where the ball would be spotted.
• Decided to include taunting among its points of emphasis for 2021. McKay clarified that the emphasis would be directed not at celebrations but toward acrimonious interaction among players.
• Tabled a proposal from the Buffalo Bills that would have pushed back interviews for general manager and head-coaching positions until after the championship round of the playoffs and would have prevented hires until after the Super Bowl. It will be further studied.
• Completed a study of the sharp drop in offensive holding during the 2020 season. McKay said that Walt Anderson, the NFL's senior vice president of training and development, would clarify the standard and put together a video for teams to consume before the 2021 season.

Aaron Rodgers Seems To Have Co-Created The World's Worst Sports Website | Defector

Let me let you in on a little something I’ve gleaned from my extensive months of experience as the co-founder of a sports website: This game isn’t as easy as it seems. Not just anyone can walk in off the street and build a functioning website beloved (hopefully) by thousands. Not even Green Bay...

Weight and Injuries

NFL football is a violent game, and traumatic injuries are unfortunate but unavoidable. But are bigger players more likely to be hurt than their smaller peers?

key and hurst will turn into all-pros at the niners, good coaches, unlike raiders who dunno how to coach

49ers signed DT Maurice Hurst, formerly of the Raiders.
Hurst was somewhat surprisingly waived by the Raiders last Thursday. The 26-year-old (next month) contributed 290 snaps last season, holding up reasonably well against the run. He did miss five games with injury and contributed only half a sack after tallying 7.5 between the first two years of his career. He is a sensible 90-man roster flier who will have a legitimate shot at cracking the 49ers' 53.

He has been caught trying to groom young teenage girls. and admitted to doing so. but claimed he was doing it to troll people.

I think he is also a trumper. Never liked him seemed like a caricature of toxic fan culture and talk back radio nimrods

About time that the defense got an advantage for a change.
