I think after an adjustment period, we'll be fine with the 40-second clock. Will just take some getting used to,
I LOVE that we're going to more than 5 in the backfield, rather than less than 7 on the line. Even though I've been working downfield for years, I've hated seeing the offense have a big Bubba forget to go out, snap with 10, and get flagged for it. Playing with 10 is its own penalty.
Another year, another jersey issue. Is what it is. Not much we can do on the field to enforce the number size anyway; that's a state issue.
I'm neutral on the tripping the runner, though I guess it's consistent for every player now. Don't think I've ever seen a tackle by the nameplate, so that is what it is.
Ralph, has there been discussion of changing DPI to 15 yards or the spot of the foul, whichever is less? That's the one biggie for me - I hate penalizing a team 15 yards when the pass only goes 5 yards.
