NFL Controversial Play Rules: Updates and Proposals.

The NFL's competition committee is considering a rule that would eliminate the hip-drop tackle, which has become an increasing threat and resulted in an injury rate that is "20 times higher" than other tackling forms. The NFL Players Association opposes a ban on the technique, calling it "unfair to players and unrealistic to implement." The league is currently researching the prevalence of the tackle and compiling video examples, and input from head coaches could be vital in assessing the direction of a possible ban.

The official proposals from the Competition Committee will be released soon and are expected to receive more attention. The owners will ultimately decide on any rule changes, but by releasing the team proposals at a less opportune time, they have less of a chance to gain traction and catch the attention of a critical mass of owners.

NFL Teams Propose Innovative Rule Changes for Game Time and Emergency Situations.

The Philadelphia Eagles have proposed adding tenths of a second to the NFL game clock for the final 30 seconds of each half. This would be a first for professional football and could add another level of gamesmanship and certainty for NFL coaches to know what they can pull off within the actual time frame. The proposal has received positive responses from coaches and analytics staffers around the league, but there are concerns about the feasibility of adding the extra decimal to all NFL stadium scoreboards. The competition committee will discuss the proposal in two weeks.
