Here's a full list of the NFL rules proposals to presented for a possible vote at the league owners meetings starting Sunday in Phoenix. Any change needs 24 teams to be approved:
1. By Philadelphia: Gives additional protections for long snappers on kick plays. 2. By Philadelphia: Prohibits the "leaper" block attempt on field goal and extra point plays. 3. By Philadelphia: Expands the "crown of helmet" foul to include "hairline" part of helmet. 4. By Philadelphia: Amends the challenge system by granting a third challenge if a club is successful on at least one of its initial two challenges, and expands reviewable plays outside of two minutes of each half. 5. By Washington: Eliminates the limit of three total challenges per team per game and eliminates the requirement that a team be successful on each of its first two challenges in order to be awarded a third challenge. 6. By Washington: Moves the line of scrimmage to the 20-yard line for any touchback where the free kick travels through the uprights. 7. By Buffalo and Seattle: Permits a coach to challenge any officials' decision except scoring plays and turnovers. 8. By Competition Committee: Makes permanent the rule that disqualifies a player who is penalized twice in one game for certain types of unsportsmanlike conduct fouls. 9. By Competition Committee: Changes the spot of the next snap after a touchback resulting from a free kick to the 25-yard line for one year only. 10. By Competition Committee: Reduces the length of preseason and regular season overtime periods to 10 minutes. 11. By Competition Committee: Gives a receiver running a pass route defenseless player protection. 12. By Competition Committee: Makes crackback blocks prohibited by a backfield player who is in motion, even if he is not more than two yards outside the tackle when the ball is snapped. 13. By Competition Committee: Replaces the sideline replay monitor with a hand-held device and authorizes designated members of the officiating department to make the final decision on replay reviews.

Re: Full NFL rules proposal list for league owners meetings in Phoenix
2. By Philadelphia: Prohibits the "leaper" block attempt on field goal and extra point plays - then why are those vertical jumps measured at the combine??
To see a guy jump over the top without touching anyone on the line enroute to blocking an attempted FG kick is an impressive feat. |

Re: Full NFL rules proposal list for league owners meetings in Phoenix
— Makes actions to conserve time illegal after the two-minute warning of either half.
I need some clarification on this one. Does spiking the ball count as conserving time? What about going out of bounds? |

The question is does either allow the ref to put time back on the clock thereby negating the effect while giving the fouled party yardage to work with? SFIAH |

Re: Full NFL rules proposal list for league owners meetings in Phoenix
Ok maybe a dumb question to most but, lol, why isn't it a personal foul when a defender tries to punch the ball out and misses and punches the ball carrier instead?
