00:00but plenty more was decided this week at the nfl owner meetings we talked about olympic
00:04participation allowed nfl players will have the potential to participate in the 2028 summer
00:11olympic games in flag football the onside kick slightly tweaked now instead of just trailing
00:18being the trailing team in the fourth quarter and declaring it you can be trailing at any point of
00:23the game and declare an onside kick and you will do so from one yard closer trying to up the success
00:30rate i guess of that kicking team no changes to the playoff format that was tabled the lions did
00:37not have the necessary support for that playoff format fix the buffalo bills have been selected
00:44as the team to be on hard knocks in august on hbo the training camp edition the original edition of
00:51hard knocks will be a fascinating study of the buffalo bills and a new award in the offseason
00:57in the national football league the protector of the year i love it given to the best offensive
01:02lineman in the national football league the year prior yeah it's pretty good you get the big uglies
01:08up front that don't get a lot of the like special accolades from the guys that throw the passes
01:12catch them run the touchdowns in so it's good to see them getting recognized also but understand this
01:17like we look at so many of these rule changes coming in and yes the detroit lions just didn't even
01:21get a vote because of how embarrassing that was here similar to the green bay packers like if it
01:25came from the nfl and you're voting on it like okay let's see what happens here but the fact that
01:29you are putting forward these proposals that nobody really wants at this point they're getting defeated
01:33which i do think is pretty funny but also looking from an nfl perspective heading into next year i'm
01:38glad they kept because divisions matter you know keep those same things together it's a prize for you
01:43to win that division you win it you get a home game and away you go into the playoff so for me i look at
01:48some of those choices there and say all right it does make some sense the onside tweak why do you
01:52have to be losing like the play was never that bad for injuries to begin with like you can add
01:58elements of surprise and also why do you have to be losing like why can't you like hey i just want to
02:03increase my lead i'm gonna go onside kick right here why does it have to be losing i don't know it's
02:07just some things that the nfl does doesn't technically make some sense and this is one of those i'm also very
02:13confused because there's been no official statement on the change to the rule but by reports
02:18from the athletics diana russini and only of the athletic the onside kick will now be taken from the
02:2434 yard line which would not as the proposal stated move the kick closer to the receiving team which
02:33would almost make it more difficult if we're trying to up the success rate from a six percent clip
02:39from a season ago the first year of the new dynamic kickoff rule in the nfl to moving it back
02:45is it giving you more space to build up momentum to take out the opponent on the other side you would
02:51almost think drs would want to shorten the gap in the amount of time that allows the kickoff team to
02:57get down there and cause some chaos for a loose ball i don't really get that again no official statement
03:03yeah but we thought it was going to be moved a yard closer so the kicking team from the 36 yard line
03:09instead of the 35 by reports it's going to move back to the 34 yard line yeah i don't know maybe
03:16they just don't want it to be like an extra you move it up so you get an extra yard i guess if you
03:20recover at this point that doesn't really make too much sense to me at this point but also we're really
03:24close to doing away with this and bastardizing the game and going to a fourth and 15 or even worse
03:28why don't you just have one guy eligible to catch the onside kick and have the other team have seven
03:33guys eligible to recover it because you really want to report and reward the team that has lost the
03:37entire game with an extra chance to come back which absolutely makes no sense in the spirit of
03:42competition i do think that would be pretty cool though right like a game of three flags up you just
03:47throw it up and you have three guys trying to take out the receiver of the football that would be
03:51kind of fun all right outside of the nfl we'll have plenty more on the rules that were voted on
03:57that were upheld all of that with mark zinno and i'm sure he will have some fiery and flying
04:03flying hot takes coming your way on this uh thursday morning in just a little bit
