Supposedly, the NFL is considering moving all replays to the NFL offices in NYC; in theory that should quicken the reply process.
And I have to agree with Bill Belicheat; ALL plays (especially the ridiculous PI calls) should be reviewable.
Hockey does that, and it’s a better system, so I agree with that as a start. I still think they need to have a limit on time for the review. If it’s that close the call needs to stand and they move on without interrupting the flow of the game so much.
Weird.
I think the best solution is to get rid of replays and challenges and simply have a video reviewer who can overturn rulings on the field on the spot.
I could see it working something like this....on the field there will be an indicator, a green light indicates that the play will stand....and if the video official in the booth wants to review something the light will turn yellow, and play stops until the video official either confirms the play or overrules. But there should be a time limit of 15 seconds, if the video reviewer cannot find grounds to overrule in that amount of time, the play stands as called.
And with regards to penalties, in the time the officials are conferring on the field, the video official can be reviewing the play to see if indeed the penalty was warranted.
I agree with that. There are a lot of bogus penalties called.
Coaching news, TN hires Ken Whisenhunt, Detroit (who also wanted KW) hires Jim "the inanimate object" Caldwell, the personality opposite of Jim Schwartz.
Cleveland and MN are still looking.
May the Schwartz be with them
