ORLANDO Cole Beasley Jerseys 2019 , Fla. (AP) — The NFL’s new rule outlawing a player from lowering his head to initially make any sort of hit with his helmet likely will be included in replay reviews for officials.That has not been decided yet, but Commissioner Roger Goodell and competition committee chairman Rich McKay made it clear Wednesday that video reviews probably will be part of the process.“If we’re able to have replay confirm one of these fouls and also confirms a player be ejected,” Goodell said as the league meetings concluded, “I think there is more confidence among the coaches it will be called accurately.”After noting the unanimous approval of the new rule among coaches, Goodell said on-field officials felt the same way.“We think that is appropriate to do and it would be the first time we use replay for safety or in respect to any kind of foul,” Goodell added.Late Tuesday, the owners rewrote the rule on using the helmet, making it a 15-yard penalty for any player to lower his head to initiate any hit with the helmet. McKay called it “a significant change,” noting that it was a “technique too dangerous for the player doing it and the player being hit.”While the offender could be disqualified White Robert Foster Jerseys , owners did not call for an automatic ejection on such a play — at least not yet. In college football, when a player is penalized for targeting and a replay review affirms it, he is ejected.Including replay will be discussed and very possibly implemented at the NFL’s May meetings in Atlanta, where another full agenda will include discussions of changes to the league’s national anthem policy; the potential sale of the Carolina Panthers; and awarding the 2019 and 2020 drafts to two of the five finalist cities.Before then, Goodell stressed that the workings of the new helmet use rule will be made clear to the players.“Our intent is to go to each team with tape and all the analysis work done (by the football operations, technology and medical staffs) and be able to present it to them,” Goodell said. “We can take the head out, and we do want to make sure certain techniques are not used in our game.”Like the coaches, the owners were emphatically behind the change.“We’ve done so much research and investigation on what creates the real concussive plays in the NFL Robert Foster Jerseys 2019 ,” Eagles owner Jeff Lurie said, “and it became obvious that so many of the plays are through the lowering of the helmet and using the helmet as a weapon. I thought this (rule) was very important.”Earlier, owners passed two more rules changes.Most noteworthy, the league eliminated the requirement that a team that scores a winning touchdown at the end of regulation kick the extra point or go for a 2-point conversion.In a January playoff game that Minnesota memorably won on a final pass play, New Orleans players were required to return to the field after leaving for a meaningless extra point. The Vikings took a knee.Of course, bettors and fantasy players could have a stake in the PAT, but neither participating team did, particularly now that points scored or points differential is so low in any tiebreaking procedures.The owners also approved closing an overtime loophole that could have been embarrassing had it ever occurred.Now, if the team that gets the ball first scores a field goal White Corey Bojorquez Jerseys , then the opponent loses possession by an interception or fumble on its first series, the down will be permitted to run to its conclusion, including awarding points scored by either team during the down.Previously, the turnover ended the game regardless — even though the team getting the takeaway conceivably could itself turn over the ball on that play and see it returned for a score by the opponent.Got it?

While there are many directions general manager Brandon Beane and head coach Sean McDermott could go with the first of the team’s ten draft picks Corey Bojorquez Jerseys 2019 , there are two franchises with strong ties to the Bills that have been rumored to be interested in trading up in the first round. In a story written by Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated and The Monday Morning Quarterback, Breer said he’s heard from sources that the Houston Texans and Carolina Panthers are the two teams he’s heard most often associated with trading up in the draft. The Bills have ties to both organizations, which could pave the way for a draft-day trade with either Houston or Carolina. Brian Gaine, the current general manager of the Texans, previously served as vice president of player personnel for the Bills in 2017 before being recruited to take over as GM in January of 2018. And as every Bills fan knows by now, the Bills-Panthers connection runs deep. McDermott was the Panthers’ defensive coordinator from 2011-2016, orchestrating a top-ten defense every year from 2012-2015. Beane spent his entire career in Carolina before becoming the general manager of the Bills in May 2017. From 2008-2014, Beane served as the Panthers’ director of football operations before he was promoted to assistant GM for the 2015 and 2016 seasons. Here’s what Breer had to say about the trade rumors involving the Panthers and Texans: “Carolina (No. 16) and Houston (No. 23) wouldn’t be going up for quarterbacks. In all likelihood, it’d be a move to get one of the top three tackles. Each has been very present in that market on the scouting trail over the last three months White Marcus Murphy Jerseys , and the dropoff from the first cluster (Alabama’s Jonah Williams, Florida’s Jawaan Taylor, Washington State’s Andre Dillard) to the second (Alabama State’s Tytus Howard, Ole Miss’ Greg Little) leaves both teams in a bit of a no man’s land, drafting too low for the former and too high for the latter. So both could move up or, failing that, move down,” Breer said.
