1. NFL simplifies catch rule
The league revises the catch rule to include just three elements: control, in bounds and a “football move.”
Where we once debated what it means to be going to the ground, we’ll now debate what it means to make a football move. The league has defined it as: taking a third step (fine, that’s black and white), reaching/extending for the line to gain (O.K., fairly black and white) or the ability to perform such acts (uh oh, grey as hell).
