Wow, the NFL just changed their pass interference rule. I heard it on the news and I was curious. Let me tell you my opinion.
First off, I can see both sides. Some people say the rule change will be a disaster. They argue that referees will face an impossible task, trying to make split second judgments about the blocker’s intent. They think making a wrong call could decide the outcome of the game, and so could ruin the sport.
Others argue that the change will be good, making the EFL more exciting to watch. The rule change will make the cornerbacks more attack-minded, and create more catches by the classic “over the shoulder grab.” It will also give referees a clearer view into what is a block and what isn’t.
Personally, I don’t think the rule change is all bad. Sure, referees will have to be on their toes a little more, but they have a tough job anyway. I’d rather see them make a few mistakes on the small things than decide the outcome of the game witha dubious call.
Speaking of mistakes, even with the rule change, I still don’t think we’ll see many of them. The League (and the people watching) will be on the alert for any blunders, and I doubt the refs will make too many. Besides, if they do, they’ll video review them, which will help correct them.
I’m also looking forward to seeing how this new rule will change game play. The receivers will be running deeper routes, so those quick cornerbacks will have to be extra careful not to step out of line. The rules of the game are always evolving, and this a great way to keep it exciting.
Of course, I’m sure there will be plenty of arguments and debates about the rule change. But that’s how it goes with any big change. There’s no use in standing in the way of progress. After all, it’s just part of the game.
In conclusion, I think the new rule change will be worthwhile. Sure, some people may not like it, but the League is trying to keep the game fresh and exciting for the fans. Referees will still have to take extra caution, but they can still make their usual calls the same as before. Things could be a lot worse. Anyway, only time will tell if this change will be successful or not.
Interesting enough,recently, the nfl mandated a new rule that would change the landscape of the pass interference procedures. The goal was to make referees make split second calls on blocker’s intents during the course of the game, while also making the game more visually appealing to watch. This, however, can be a double edged sword.
On one hand, the rule change can be beneficial for the participants of the game, receivers will be able to run more precise and deep routes, pending the cornerbacks agility to remain in line and not pass interference. It will also resolve any confusion to referees upon what is a legal block or a penalty, for an example, rather than a penalty per say, which can also have disastrous implications that can influence the game.
On the other hand, some fear that this rule change will actually do more harm than good. That the referees will be of no use making split judgement calls that can have decisive implications on the game, while miscalculations can decide the outcome of the game itself. Such scenario did take place once, in the infamous late game interception that took place on the Super Bowl XLIV between the saints and the Colts.
Despite such incidents, I do think that this rule change has a chance to change the game for the better, as the league is always looking for ways to keep the game fresh and exciting for the fans. The new rule will give receivers the chance to be more daring and let their natuaral talents show, creating opportunities for more receptions and spectacles in the game itself.
Speaking of chances, with success comes sacrifice. On this case, the referees will have to make sure to be extra careful when making their judgement calls, for one mistake can decide the entirety of the game. Adding to that, the refs will now have history watching them if any misjudgment passes through, as every play will be video-reviewed to make sure understanding of the rule expalined.
In addition, the teams themselves have no choice but to accept this new rule, whether they like it or not. Every adjustment in the game is part of evolution in the NFL, so much like in real life, everything changes for the better or for the worst (hopefully for the better). Like it or not, the referees and the players will have to comply to the new rule and make the most out of the situation.
In conclusion, the new rule change is promising to be a game changer. While this could possibly spell disaster, the leauge is hoping to capitalize on the excitement of hardcore and casual fan alike, facilitating deeper routes and, more perilous corners to make the game way more entertaining. Despite the risk it comes with, if things go as planned referees and players alike will be able to drive the skills one can only dream of the field. Ultimately, the only thing that we can see is to see whether this new rule will be a success or a failure. What remains constant is our intrigue and hope for the best.
