00:00Glad they did because I thought the first season was really interesting.
00:17We got overtime, we got tush push, and automatic first downs.
00:22And playoff seeding change.
00:24So we have four new rule proposals that were thrown out there by three teams, Eagles, Packers,
00:30and Lions threw these out.
00:31Let's start with the one closest to home, and that was the Packers wanting to ban the
00:38tush push.
00:39And they say they want to ban a teammate from lining up directly behind the snapper at the
00:45time that they received the snap and allowing you to push them through.
00:53I don't know that this gets banned.
00:55It's probably not going to go through, but I like the way they wrote the rule.
00:59This has been my issue with it.
01:02Don't have a tug-of-war match.
01:04Don't allow two or three people to shove the quarterback from behind.
01:08As soon as the running back touches the quarterback, it's a 10-yard flag.
01:11Here's the way it's written.
01:12No offensive player may immediately at the snap push or throw his body against the teammate
01:19who was lined up directly behind the snapper and received the snap to aid him in an attempt
01:24to gain yardage.
01:25If you push the quarterback forward on a sneak, it becomes a 10-yard penalty.
01:30Totally good with it.
01:31And like you said, I think the language is perfect.
01:34The language on how you're banning this is going to be important, because that's what
01:37people freak out about.
01:39So I think the way they worded it, great.
01:41Mark Murphy, president of the Packers, American University alumnus, as I discovered yesterday,
01:48he's not even on the list.
01:49No, because he's with the Packers and he only got one Super Bowl for Rodgers in his career.
01:52So no, he's not included.
01:55But I think that the language of this is perfect.
01:58And the biggest problem is going to be if you're the Eagles or anybody else, you're
02:02going to say, here's my counter, and you're going to throw up the three sneaks that Josh
02:05Allen couldn't get.
02:06You go, it's clearly not that easy.
02:08Right.
02:09So that's going to need 24 yes votes, but no one thinks that is going to happen.
02:13But I'm immediately signing off on that.
02:15So one for one rule change for me.
02:18Next one.
02:19Philadelphia to align the postseason and regular season overtime rules by granting both teams
02:25an opportunity to possess the ball regardless of the outcome of the first possession subject
02:33to a 15 minute overtime period in the regular season in I'm cool with it.
02:39I'm in fine with it.
02:40I think they got to have it.
02:41I think you got to have you know, where now games are too important to come down to a
02:46coin flip.
02:47Parity is too close.
02:48And I don't like the 10 minute overtime because there's some of these ones where somebody
02:52old like methodically move the ball down.
02:54It's like, all right, well, we have two and a half minutes left now after that score.
02:58Play a normal quarter.
02:59Yep.
03:00And we saw we saw this year it was the opener was Rams Detroit and Detroit got the ball.
03:06They ran the ball on every single play.
03:09Yeah.
03:10Got the clock down.
03:11Basically ran out the quarter on every single play in the overtime they ran.
