NFL exec Troy Vincent says the league will look to outlaw the low block: “Every block should be above the knee but below the neck. … This is the right time to remove the low block out of the game.”They’re also going to examine the onside kick.

You cannot, in any world, outlaw the onside kick and retain the integrity of the game. Not unless you simultaneously create an alternative way for the kicking team to try to retain possession. It would kill many games off late and drive viewers away, a big no-no for the shield.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says the league has done preliminary analysis work on what an 18-game regular-season schedule could look like. It has to be collectively bargained, but the NFL has begun planning and preparation for what many view as an inevitable move to 18.

A potential big change: NFL exec Troy Vincent says the competition committee will discuss expanding replay assist to include certain penalties such as facemasks.What would the standard be to put down a flag from upstairs? “That appetite will have to come from the membership.”

USFL, UFL have a great instant replay. Takes about a minute and gets things right. NFL is way behind the technology to get the calls right and could get it right. Probably protecting their officials more than the integrity of the game. Just my opinion.

I 100% support getting rid of preseason. But, I bet they don't. Why wouldn't they still keep it at 20 games overall?

Could be wrong, but I just have the feeling this is going to be a trainwreck
