The NFL’s effort to prevent a repeat of the Rams-Saints

debacle has created a rule change that will sweep far more broadly than the Rams-Saints situation. And that won’t be good for business.“In my experience Joey Bosa Jersey , I never thought creating a rule for one play — even as obvious as that play was — you can get bad rules that way,” former NFL senior V.P. of officiating Dean Blandino, now a FOX rules analyst, told Dom Cosentino of Deadspin.com regarding the league’s reaction to the NFC Championship debacle. “Nobody wants to see [that], and everybody wants to fix that. But I feel like, you create a rule to fix that play, and what we’re going to see is a whole bunch of other plays that are going to be impacted, and very few of the plays like what happened in the Rams-Saints game.”Blandino is right, primarily because the new availability of replay review for pass interference calls and non-calls could dramatically change the way a game is officiated in the closing moments of each half Womens Austin Ekeler Jersey , by at a minimum bogging down those final two minutes with a rash of possible reviews. Then there’s the problem, as previously mentioned, that arises from the replay officials applying different standards to the question of whether sufficiently clear and obvious evidence exists to justify a full replay review by Blandino’s successor, Al Riveron.“You know, one person may look at that and think it’s clear and obvious — another may not,” Blandino told Cosentino regarding the late-game call in the Week 15 Chargers-Chiefs game that, according to Riveron, would have been altered by replay review. “And then once it goes to review, then the standard — they said that it’s ‘clear and obvious http://www.thechargerslockerroom.com/authentic-melvin-gordon-jersey ,’ but when you start to look at some of the plays they cited … that’s more of a letter-of-the-law standard. And it’s going to be interesting to see if they start overturning or creating fouls based on that standard, when really, on the field, that was never intended to be pass interference.”That’s where the preseason comes in, allowing the league to see how the rule will play out in practice and to, if necessary, make more adjustments based on preseason games.“I don’t think anybody knows exactly how this is going to play out until we start actually playing games,” Blandino said.Again, he’s right. Here’s hoping that Philip Rivers Jersey , once they start playing games, the league will make any and all necessary adjustments. Otherwise, the league’s 100th season will be remembered for entirely different reasons. The interior of The Chargers defensive line could look very different when the 2019 season begins.

Kelly-USA TODAY SportsThe interior of The Chargers defensive line could look very different when the 2019 season begins. As of now, the bolts are slated to have four defensive linemen that will hit the free agent market when the new league year commences on March 13th. Brandon Mebane, Corey Liuget, Darius Philon and Damion Square have expiring contracts and all could be in could be in new uniforms next season. The Chargers should make the decision to bring back Square and/or Philon, as both have proved to be key rotational pieces to the defensive front. Even if that plan succeeds Womens Kellen Winslow Jersey , the line will still need to be reinforced. That help could come in the form of Clemson defensive tackle, Dexter Lawrence. Lawrence was one of the top high school recruits in the county and quickly became a force on Clemson’s defense. Over the next three seasons he would be named the 2016 ACC defensive rookie of the year and earned first-team All-ACC following his sophomore and junior seasons. However, Lawrence’s college career ended on a low note when he was suspended for a positive banned substance that kept him from participating in the national championship game in January. At 6-foot-4, 343 pounds, Lawrence’s best traits are shown as a primary run defender. He is an anchor capable of occupying space, taking on double teams and closing lanes for opposing running backs. Lawrence possesses short area athleticism and is deceptively agile for player of his size. He also displays good hand technique when shedding tackles and uses his power to his advantage to get into the backfield.He doesn’t have the explosiveness to be a consistent interior pass rusher, but still shows decent quickness off the snap. He shows limited lateral movement and average pass rushing skills which will could limit his draft value. Lawrence managed only 3.5 sacks over the last two years, but he still recorded 43 QB pressures, 131 tackles (18 for loss) and 10 total sacks during his college career. After leading all defensive lineman at the combine with 36 reps on the bench press and turning in an impressive 40 time of 5.05 http://www.thechargerslockerroom.com/authentic-lance-alworth-jersey , Lawrence was off to a great start at the combine. However it would be short lived as Lawrence suffered a minor quad injury that forced him out of the rest of the drills in Indianapolis.Luckily, the injury is not expected to keep the former tiger from performing at Clemson’s pro-day on March 14th. Lawrence has earned his reputation as an exceptional two down run defender.But teams that value interior pass rush may not see that from him at the next level. Still, his college production still has draft analysis looking at Lawrence as a potential first round pick. Daniel Jeremiah currently ranks the former tiger at No. 31 on his big board and ESPN’s Todd McShay recently mocked Lawrence to The Chargers with the 28th overall selection. Since Tom Telesco became general manager of The Chargers, the team has not spent higher than a 3rd round pick on a defensive tackle. BFTB’s own Louis Gorlini makes a strong argument as to why The Chargers have historically undervalued the defensive tackle spot and why fans should not expect the team to spend a first round pick on the position. Los Angeles could look to free agency to add another veteran to their defensive front. Additionally, The NFL draft is extremely deep at the the defensive line position, which could afford The Chargers the opportunity to focus their efforts on other areas of need in the higher rounds. With the free agency looming and the possibility of the line lacking serious depth, there is definitely an argument to be made as to why Lawrence would make sense for The Chargers to select him at 28. Could this finally be the year that Telesco puts a high investment on the interior of the defensive line? Only time will tell.
