Chop blocks hit the chopping block as NF

The NFL made seven rule changes for 2016, including the elimination of chop blocks and moving the extra point back permanently.The league announced the changes at the 2016 NFL owners' meetings in Boca Raton. They are as follows:1. Permanent Extra Point: After a trial run in the 2015, the Jeremy Lin Jersey extra point was moved back to the 15-yard line in perpetuity. Who doesn't want on the leg of a kicker? Oh right, fans don't.Kickers mi sed a whopping 71 extra points last year, which was . Defenses can also return these kicks for 2016 and beyond.2. Coach-to-Player Communication: The NFL pa sed a rule allowing coach-to-player communication on both offense and defense regardle s of whether they are on Vince Carter Jersey the field or in the coaching box. It's logical to allow playcallers to talk to players wherever they want.3. Adios, Choppy: No more chop blocks. Chop blocks are done in the NFL forever. (Or at least until Mike Shanahan is named commi sioner and brings them back on a permanent basis anyway. Relax, everyone, he does blocks, which are technically still legal.) This is a pretty obvious move designed to not hurt people's legs!4. MORE HORSES: The definition of the horse-collar tackle was expanded. Instead of simply grabbing at the collarbone and destroying the offensive player by yanking him to the ground, now it is also illegal to drag Charlie Brown Jersey someone down by the "nameplate." As in, grab "Brinson" on the back of my jersey, yank me to the ground and you're getting a 15-yard penalty. Again, logical: this is a move that can really hurt people. Expect to see plenty of flags fly based on people being used to doing this. 5. The Chris Webber Rule: You can no longer call a timeout if you don't have one. Well, you call a timeout, but now, in what might be the most obvious rule change in the history of rules, you will Tony Snell Jersey be penalized for calling a timeout without one. on a Monday night when the called a timeout against the Saints and stopped play before everyone realized they shouldn't be able to do it.You can call a time out when you don't have one? (@Saints) No-brainer rule here. What's amazing is it never came into play Trae Young Jersey before 2015.6. Ineligible Receiver Rule: It used to be a five-yard penalty when a receiver would illegally touch a football after being out of bounds and then re-establishing himself inbounds. Now it is a penalty. Major difference there, obviously.7. Can't Triple Stamp a Double Stamp: The NFL also eliminated "multiple spots of enforcement for a double foul after a change of po se sion."
