- Change OT format similar to NFL.

- Similar to others, strictly enforce the 3 yd rule on OL downfield or move it to 1 Yd so maybe it will get called at 3

- PI has shifted (like all rules) to favor the offense. Big, physical WRs are allowed to be hands on with and push off more with no calls while drawing the benefit of the doubt and a defensive PI call when the DB gets equally as aggressive or simply has a hand out to keep contact with his guy without interfering. I'm not saying let them battle all the way down the field, but call it consistently for offense and defense and over the course of the game. It seems too subjective at the moment.

- targeting should come in two forms: flagrant and unintentional. Flagrant is a disqualification for that game only, 15 YDS and 1st down. Unintentional has the same without disqualification; 2 x unintentional calls in a game also leads to disqualification

- instead of an onside kick, teams should get the option to have the ball placed at their own 35 in a 4th and 15 situation. Would reduce some of the the mass collisions with 1 group running full speed into another while offering about the same risk/reward dyanmic. On side kicks could remain an available option as well to keep STs coaches on their toes.

Oh damn, this would actually be pretty awesome.


In addition to several of these in this thread, I've always wanted to see FGs scored in a more "tiered" system to make the long shots worth more.

0-19 yds = 1 point
20-29 yds = 2 points
30-39 yds = 3 points
40-49 yds = 4 points
50-59 yds = 5 points
60+ yds = 6 points

This would also do a lot to "balance" the game more and give less advantage to the offenses, as they'd take more chances inside the 30 when they know they can only walk away with 2 or less points on 4th down.
