NFL owners will look this week at expanding instant replay to include some penalties, but not at non-calls — the situation that caused such a stir last season in the NFC championship game betweenThe league’s competition committee, which has met three times since the Super Bowl to discuss possible rules changes, has proposed making pass interference, roughing the passer, and illegal hits on defenseless players subject to replay review.
“In all our discussions, there’s been a real reluctance to putting a foul on the field,” said Troy Vincent, the NFL’s executive vice president of football operations, who will participate in continuing discussions at the league’s annual meetings in Arizona, which run Sunday through Wednesday. Making changes to replay is typically a tortured process, and many team owners are staunchly against such tweaks to the system.
“We have a lot that’s reviewable in the game and not that excited about adding to that list,” Pittsburgh Steelers President Art Rooney IIwith his team’s beat writers. “I would not want to see the length of the game be expanded. We need to continually go in the other direction. If anything, try to shorten the game a little bit. It really is the pace of the game… that’s something we have to keep in mind.
