Rule changes may be coming soon!

 


This week was the big meeting week between GMs of all the teams and the Commissioner and during this meeting the talked about the trades that were made and the usual business side of football. But during this meeting the GMs had other things on there mind and this was to make some changes in the rules. As most people think of rules they think of changes in penalties but that is not what was in the discussion.
The changes that were proposed were changes of the 2pt conversion and the review of a pass inference call.
The 2 point conversation has been part of the game for a long time and is when a team doesn't decide to kick an extra point the try to run another play to gain two points. Well with the change proposed the GMs said that if a team goes for 2pt conversation and converts then they should get a chance to kick a 50 yard field goal to give an extra point a long with the two. If this change happens it could be a big part of the game and will definitely make the next NFL season interesting to see how many teams try for 2pt conversation since it was already a rare site to see.
The review of the pass interference call would definitely throw a twist into the game. Pass interference is a call that is made when a Defensive play interferes with the chance for a receiver to catch the ball as this call is made it is a 15 yard peneatly and normal results in an automatic first down for the offense. With this rule of them being allowed to reviewed would definitely change the game because sometimes a call of this nature being made can change the momentum of a game and possible a game ending call. With referees being able to be review the call made would give them a chance to reverse their call and make a huge decision in the game.
These rules are possible rule changes for next years football season and with these changes would make the game of football even more interesting than it already is.

Chief Kingdom may be on the rise again!

As being a long time fan of the Kansas City Chiefs and them being my hometown team I love to hear when the Chiefs have been making moves to make this next up incoming football season more enjoyable to watch. The Chiefs over the last weeks made some moves in the free agency that will really help them out for this next up and coming season.
This is a picture of one of my favorite players in the league and a Missouri Tiger native Jermey Maclin and in the past week this is one of the moves that Chiefs made that will drastically help the team. As being over a year since the Chiefs have had a wide receiver score a touchdown this man was great pick up and will more than likely end this drought.
Another move that the Chiefs made was adding three new offensive linemen to the roaster. These pick ups will be a great use to one of the biggest struggling points on the team last year. I hope that Chiefs fans are just as excited for this next football season as I am because I believe with these moves in the free agency the Chiefs will be a team to recon with in the league.

Free Agency

For most teams in the NFL the free agency is a big time in the league. The free agency stands for a time that some of the best players in the NFL contracts are up. This is a time where players can either make new deals with the team they are currently on or they can explore for deals with a new team. This year for the free agency there is a lot of good athletes that contracts are up and are ready to deal.

For Example:

Reggie Wayne

Reggie Wayne has been one of the most prestigious wide receivers in the game for many years. With that being said this year with his contract being up with the Colts, a team he has been with for many years, and him refusing to sign a new deal he is one of the best athletes up for grabs in this years free agency. 
Another athlete that is up for grabs this year in the free agency is the defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. He is a very good defensive tackle that has been a stand out since he has entered the NFL. He has played for the Detroit Lions since his rookie year, and has had some problems with fines from unsportsmanlike conduct on the field but even with these problems he will still be a great athlete for any team to sign and will bring great play to any team hes on.
