The league continues to evolve leaning towards player safety

League meetings have been ongoing in Phoenix Cheap Sean Bunting Jersey , Arizona and plenty of news has been coming out. While most of us have our eyes and ears turned towards the Tampa Bay Buccaneers specifically, there are some league-wide things happening as well.Specifically, one rule change has already been approved for the 2019 season and should stick around moving forward.Player safety has been the drum pounded by the league for the last few years with some pretty substantial rules being put into place with health of the players as a focal point.This is just one more rule to add to them as the NFL attributes 33% of all concussions coming on punts where blindside blocks were involved.If this is the case, then I am in support of it. While I agree football is a physical game rooted in violent action between one man to another, it doesn’t mean we can’t tweak some things here and there to keep those men on the field.Now, points of emphasis are going to be outlined as the off-season progresses and the pre-season gets underway. It’s very likely we’ll see a noticeable increase in these types of plays being noticed just like we did last pre-season with the helmet to helmet rule changes.However, before we collectively panic about the game being ruined, let’s remember the uproar over last year’s rule changes died fairly quickly once we saw the regular season application of them.The focus on this penalty appears to be more on the trajectory of the player. As a blocker, players will be expected to run sideline to sideline versus running parallel to the sideline. This is when the penalty will come into play.At first note, it seems to me this will become something akin to a football version of charging versus blocking. If an offensive player is set - even facing parallel to the sideline - and isn’t moving with forward momentum, then perhaps it will be an acceptable play attributed more to lack of awareness by the defender rather than aggression by the blocker.We’ll have to see how it pans out Sean Bunting Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jersey , but let us know what your initial thoughts are to this first rule change of the league year. EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers‘ quarterback merry-go-round may be in motion again.After starting Ryan Fitzpatrick for the first four games, switching to Jameis Winston for the next three and going back to Fitzpatrick for the last three, coach Dirk Koetter is at a crossroads again after the Bucs dropped a 38-35 decision to the New York Giants on Sunday.Fitzpatrick started the game and was lifted in the third quarter after throwing three interceptions that helped the Giants take a 24-7 lead.Winston, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 draft, came in and led the Bucs on four touchdown drives, getting them within three points twice only to throw a late interception to B.W. Webb on a desperation pass in the final 30 seconds.Koetter refused to say who would start Sunday at home against the San Francisco 49ers. He had weighed going back to Winston this week.“It was close,” Koetter said. “I told you all along, his day was going to come back. That’s water under the bridge right now.”Asked whether he was second-guessing himself, the coach didn’t hesitate.“No. You can second-guess every play out there,” he said.Winston was outstanding. He completed 12 of 16 passes for 199 yards Caleb Benenoch Jersey , and his only turnover was the last pass.“It was pretty obvious he came in and lit it up,” Koetter said, adding he probably would decide on a starter Monday.The path to Winston seems clear at this point.“I’m not worried about that,” Winston said of the prospect of starting the final six games. “I’m worried about finding a way to win. I don’t have that much control over that but my play can speak. That’s the only thing I can control. I’m going to try to do my best if I get the opportunity to execute.”Fitzpatrick was 13 of 21 for 167 yards when he was lifted. He scored a second-quarter touchdown on a fourth-down 1-yard run off what seemed to be a broken play, and he had an opening drive stopped at the Giants’ 5 on a failed fourth-down quarterback sneak.The turnovers did him in. He was intercepted by defensive back Michael Thomas at the Giants’ 13 on the next to last play of the first half. He saw linebacker Alec Ogletree return an interception 15 yards for a touchdown early in the third quarter and then had safety Curtis Riley intercept a rainbow toss into the end zone with 9:42 left in the quarter.He pretty much knew he was done by that point.“After the third one in the end zone there I thought that would probably be the decision,” Fitzpatrick said. “I was proud of the way that Jameis went in there and played. It’s not easy to do. It’s not easy to not have any preparation and be working with the scout team and get thrown in there during the middle of the game, so I was proud of the way that he played.”Fitzpatrick said he doesn’t know what will happen next. He is certain the turnovers have to stop.“It’s something we stress every week,” Fitzpatrick said. “You can’t win in this league turning the ball over, so it’s something you harp on and you try to correct it every week and unfortunately I did it three times today.”
