After all, nobody actually feels safer because the league decided to ban celebrations that include \u201cviolent gestures,\u201d i.e., shooting and holstering a finger gun.<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\" id=\"article-content-block-2\" class=\"data-event\">Of course, some rule changes have certainly proven to be more egregious than others. Hence why USA Today Sports allowed players to air some of their grievances by asking them what rules they would like to see changed. Suffice it to say, the list was anything but short.<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\" id=\"article-content-block-3\" class=\"data-event\">\u201cOffsides on the offense,\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=v33WKtmxEsI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-utm_source=\"article\" data-utm_medium=\"content\" data-utm_campaign=\"link\"> Brock Purdy<\/a> insisted. \u201cThere\u2019s some times where guys are not lined up on the ball, and there\u2019s a flag that gets thrown for it where we\u2019re all like, \u2018Really?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\" id=\"article-content-block-4\" class=\"data-event\">According to one of the NFL\u2019s most recognizable tight ends, <a href=\"https:\/\/thesportsrush.com\/tag\/rob-gronkowski\/\" data-utm_source=\"article\" data-utm_medium=\"content\" data-utm_campaign=\"link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rob Gronkowski,<\/a> the league should also reconsider its approach towards pass interference. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of getting ridiculous,\u201d the former New England Patriot stated as he halfway rolled his eyes.<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\" id=\"article-content-block-5\" class=\"data-event\">Everyone from New Orleans, Louisiana, all the way up to Denver, Colorado, is likely in agreement with him. The only issue, however, is that the league doesn\u2019t seem to have any plans to make a change to either offensive or defensive PI during this offseason.<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\" id=\"article-content-block-6\" class=\"data-event\">Even though he was on the receiving end of his fair share of hits, the former <a href=\"https:\/\/thesportsrush.com\/tag\/atlanta-falcons\/\" data-utm_source=\"article\" data-utm_medium=\"content\" data-utm_campaign=\"link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Atlanta Falcon<\/a>, Michael Vick, added that the various ways in which you can incur a roughing the passer penalty \u2013 or not \u2013 have gotten out of hand. \u201cThat sh*t is so inconsistent, man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\" id=\"article-content-block-7\" class=\"data-event\">Unfortunately, it doesn\u2019t appear as if most of their complaints will be met with any discussion during this year\u2019s league meeting. Although, according to ProFootballTalk\u2019s<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zBkraqW0scE#:~:text=The%20NFL%20is%20considering%20potential%20rule%20changes,are%20underway%2C%20particularly%20concerning%20the%20replay%20system.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-utm_source=\"article\" data-utm_medium=\"content\" data-utm_campaign=\"link\"> Mike Florio<\/a>, there are still a few things to keep an eye on throughout the coming months.<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\" id=\"article-content-block-8\" class=\"data-event\">\u201cThe NFL has tried to move slowly and gradually in expanding the plays that are subject to replay review, look for that slow expansion to continue\u2026 People want transparency in replay review, I don\u2019t expect that to happen anytime soon but it could come down the road\u2026 There will also be talk about replacing the onside kick with a 4th &amp; 13 play that the kick off team would attempt to convert.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\" id=\"article-content-block-9\" class=\"data-event\">It\u2019s also worth noting that Florio felt the need to add in that one head coach whom he spoke to about the potential changes promptly exclaimed, \u201cI hate both of them.\u201d Fans will likely have a similar response upon discovering that news, but then again, it\u2019s rather natural to be reluctant to change.<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\" id=\"article-content-block-10\" class=\"data-event\">The fact of the matter is that football doesn\u2019t look the same as it did 20 years ago, and it will also look different 20 years from now. If anything, let this simply serve as a reminder to appreciate what you have, because you can never be sure as to when you might lose it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Between the Philadelphia Eagles\u2019 Tush Push play and their past adjustments to the kickoff format, it\u2019s safe to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":471736,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[1819,349,218899,151514,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-471735","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-brock-purdy","9":"tag-nfl","10":"tag-nfl-rule-changes","11":"tag-rob-gronkowski","12":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471735","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=471735"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471735\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/471736"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=471735"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=471735"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=471735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
