Why? Just make sure the pass is not beyond the LOS.

What if the OL gets a good push and goes two yards up field? Penalty for being stronger than the defensive line? At least with three yards there was some leeway.

It's irrelevant. Linemen can sprint to the end zone as long as the screen pass is not beyond the LOS. There can't be an ineligible down field foul unless it's a forward pass BEYOND the LOS.

This, and the rest of the changes, are no big deal. The funny part is the "Redding Test" to determine whether the contrasting numbers on a jersey is legal.

1-4-4……...Jersey numeral colors must contrast with jersey color

What's the definition of contrast?

Here's the actual test:
The team submits a jersey to Redding for a ruling
Redding gives it to his wife to hold on a football field
He walks off 40 yds
She holds it up and if he can immediately read the number, it passes.
....true story
This is pretty close to the line
