Private workouts upcoming for Tebow.

 

Per the report, Tebow will be auditioning for the Washington Redskins, Cleveland Browns, New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks and the Buffalo Bills.

[Formerly Snayke]

The Rams are doing a good job this offseason adding depth. They signed Fred Robbins to add to the defensive line, signed Hank Fraley to compete for a starting job and be a backup center and are now working on Kevin Dockery, a good nickel corner.

 

Hopefully a new deal is worked out and the cap returns next season. They'll be flush with cash and able to add A-list free agents.

The Colts have named Clyde Christensen their new offensive coordinator and Tom Moore has changed his title to offensive senior assistant. Former Bears OC Ron Turner is the new WR coach and former K-State head coach Ron Prince is the new offensive line assistant coach.

 

Also, former Tennessee quarterback and grad assistant Jim Bob Cooter has been promoted to offensive assistant.

 

Cooter is censored?

Because slang for that body part is often censored.

NFL changes postseason OT rules

 

The NFL has changed its overtime rules for playoff games.

 

Starting next season, if a team wins the coin toss and then kicks a field goal, the other team gets the ball.

 

If the game is still tied after that, play will continue under the current sudden-death rules. Should the team winning the toss immediately score a touchdown, then the game is over.

 

I'm interested to see how this will change OT strategy.

[Andy]

I'm not a big fan of this, but it was pretty much inevitable.

 

Interestingly, the Vikings (who most recently lost a playoff game in OT on a field goal) voted against the proposal.

So coin toss/sudden-death is now deemed an improper way to determine the end of a playoff game, but it's fine for the regular season? I guess this is a step in the right direction.

You will start seeing some games won by a touchdown in overtime instead of all of the winning scores being field goals.

well yes...'all' really means 'most' in my post...but there definitely is more incentive now to try to score a touchdown after winning the coin toss vs. laying up for the field goal once in range.

It's definitely dumb that they didn't just do it off the board.

[SpongeWorthy]

I liked the idea of the bid system where the team that is willing to take the ball closest to its own goal line gets first possession.

 

Anyway, I read somewhere that the owners will vote sometime in the summer to see if this change will apply to the regular season as well.

[Guest]

College football's overtime system is one reason why David's rant is incorrect.

[SpongeWorthy]

You like college OT?

 

I don't hate it but it's pretty gimmicky. I think most of my problems with it would be eliminated if each team started with the ball at at least midfield or in its own territory. Starting practically in the red zone takes several elements out of the game.

[Andy]

College overtime is dumb and I think each team should start at their own 30 or something. Anything to make a team actually have to play their way into FG range.

[dew1679666265]

I'm one of the rarities who don't have a problem with the current OT system in the NFL. That said, I don't mind changing it either. I don't understand this change, though. If you're that set on giving both teams the extra opportunity, then just do that.

 

Go with a system like college football does, but move the starting point across the 50 or something.

[Outshined_One]

I've always wondered how an OT system would look if you kept it sudden death and abolished field goals.

[NCCubFan]

According to ESPN they're going to discuss it for the regular season later this spring.

[Banedon]

The change is ok, but I think they should have just gone to a 6 or 7 minute OT period without sudden death. You play the full OT and go from there. You'll have some tired guys without a doubt, but you do in other sports too, and they manage double and triple OT's. And it makes it so you don't have special rules for OT.

That's a bad idea. Other sports aren't like football. Football players are dead after games. You can't play back to back in that sport, or even 2 days later. The uproar against sudden death is the stupidest media/fan criticism of how a sport is run I have ever heard.

That is a horribly stupid idea.

 

The only thing they want to prevent is idiots like Peter King crying about how unfair it is for a team to lose a game via FG without touching the ball in OT. It's a stupid complaint, but the idioits complain loud enough so they are addressing it. You have 60 freaking minutes to win, it's perfectly fair. There's nothing unfair about the current system.
