But officials don't need to judge fouls as flagrant for an automatic disqualification. And it won't necessarily take two fouls for a player to be tossed.

The use of game photos on Surface tablets on the sidelines has worked so well that the next logical step could be letting players and coaches review videos.

Under such changes,Jerseys From China, Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. wouldn't automatically have been ejected despite drawing three unnecessary roughness calls in scuffles with Panthers All-Pro cornerback Josh Norman late last season.
As it continues attempts to curtail kickoff runbacks, which the league considers a particularly injury-prone play,Cheap Jerseys NFL, the committee seeks to encourage downing the ball in the end zone on kickoffs.
"We think colleges have done this very successfully,Wholesale NFL Jerseys China," McKay said. "It sends the right motivation to when the ball is 9 yards deep, maybe take a knee" and get the ball at the 25 instead of the 20.
Several teams have dived into this area with proposals. Minnesota and Washington want an increase to three challenges, Baltimore is seeking three challenges and expansion of what is reviewable, and Buffalo is suggesting challenges to any official's decision except scoring plays and turnovers.

When NFL owners meet next week in Florida, they also will consider such proposals as moving the line of scrimmage up 5 yards to the 25 on kickoff touchbacks, allowing coaches and players to use video rather than just photos on sideline tablets, and expanding the penalties on horse-collar tackles to cover the nameplate on the uniform.

"We do believe officials should be empowered and should not feel ejection is not an appropriate remedy ... when there is a flagrant foul," said committee co-chairman Rich McKay, president of the Atlanta Falcons.
The competition committee proposes allowing offensive and defensive play callers to use the coach-to-player communication system regardless of whether they are on the field or in the coaches' booth. Now, they must be on the sideline.

McKay noted that eliminating chop blocks in college football in 2008 did not negatively impact running attacks.
Among the rule proposals that teams will present Monday through Wednesday are several involving video review: allowing three coaches' challenges instead of two even when one challenge fails, expanding what can be challenged to include everything but turnovers and scores, and eliminating overtime in preseason games.
"We don't get a lot of injuries per year, but we think the (vulnerable) position the player is in doesn't appear to be fair, that he is subject to a low block when he is engaged with a player," he said. "We don't see this as something that will drastically affect the rushing game."
After Commissioner Roger Goodell suggested during Super Bowl week that player ejections for two egregious fouls would be considered, the committee is suggesting that specific unsportsmanlike conduct penalties could lead to expulsions. Those are:
TOUCHBACKS
The rate of success dropped from 99.3 percent to 94.2 percent in 2015, with 71 misses during the regular season. A miss by New England All-Pro Stephen Gostkowski in the AFC championship game was costly in the Patriots' loss.
The Chiefs want the NFL to emulate the college rule that prohibits quarterbacks from falling to the ground, getting up and throwing a forward pass, as Peyton Manning successfully did in a playoff win over Pittsburgh.
Instead, according to Troy Vincent,Cheap NFL Authentic Jerseys, the league's football operations chief, the emphasis will be on education and enforcement of the three current catch rule considerations: gaining possession, getting two feet down inbounds, and player safety.
McKay noted a complete elimination of the play is warranted.
