Since the league is coming upon us quicker than we may realize, I caught this article and thought it might be on interest to some here.

Three extra point options that could result in the extra point conversion being worth 3 points. Double forward pass. Some interesting ideas.

Dean Blandino is head of officiating, too...adds credibility.

I won't lie I like the overtime rules a lot more than the current ones

 

[Dback Jon]

So Arena Ball on a bigger field?

A good friend of mine is the President of the St. Louis BattleHawks...I have faith in him doing everything he can to make it work. Sounds like St. Louis might be on board in regards to support.

Not sure what it will be. While the last incarnation was a disaster a ton of stuff that they did got adopted by the NFL. So my expectations are the same here.

It won't last but it will push the NFL to a better product just by nature of competition.

There is actually some decent stuff in there. I kind of like the idea of a tiered PAT system, although I think some sort of kick should be an option as well.

The overtime rules are fine...better than the NFL...but a modified college overtime rule IS the best possible solution.

Start a team on the 40 yard line going in. If they don't gain a single yard it is a 57 yard field goal attempt (un-makeable on a regular basis). Each team gets a possession, and you keep going until there is a winner. If you are still tied after 3 OT's then eliminate the option to kick a field goal in OT #4.

This allows both teams a completely fair chance at winning the game. It gets both offensive and defensive players a chance to impact the outcome. It still allows for strategy, (if you win the flip and go on defense first and stop them, you can play for a FG....a defensive touchdown would win the game, etc), and its exciting as hell! You need your offense AND defense to step up and make some plays and you get the excitement of both.

No one could complain about fairness. It would be a run-away success in the NFL and everyone would say "why didn't they do this sooner"

I like the double forward pass idea. There are so many possibilities with that. Can you imagine a team like the Saints using Hill in that situation. It could be a nightmare for officials so it will be interesting how it works out in the XFL.

Down by 9 and you score a TD, you get the opportunity to tie the game with a 3 point try from 10 yds. out. Some interesting concepts and they probably aren't all of them.

I give it 18 to 30 months. Maybe less.

I think it will only make it one full season. America has no interest in what are essentially minor league sports. The only reason MLB minor leagues survive is because they're propped up by the majors as a developmental system. The XFL is billing itself as competition... competition that will obviously be vastly inferior.

But I do agree with @Chris_Sanders, the league will likely come up with a few wrinkles that the NFL will adopt and carry on. We will also probably see another Tommy Maddox or 2, guys who shine among the turds.

The games aren’t bad but the sideline interviews during the game HAVE to go, I hate it when they do it in preseason NFL games and it isn’t any better now.

They need to find a way to "barrow" some NFL players, like backup QB's or young WR's. Right now, those two are the biggest missing pieces for a couple of players. Brett Hundley would be a big upgrade over half of the current starters and it would nice to make sure he stays ready.

Or they need to get college Junior and Seniors to make a jump for two years to the XFL. They can make money and gear up for the NFL. Think about it, Trevor Lawrence for one or two seasons in the XFL vs. College would be fun to watch.

yeah that’s never going to happen

 

[bankybruce]

We both know that. But that's what is needed to make this league viable IMHO.

 

[bankybruce]

Jordan Ta'amu is going to be a backup in the NFL next year. The Cardinals should sign him as the #3.

 

[HoodieBets]

The XFL should allow kids after 1 year of college and make a deal so they can still be eligible for the NFL draft after a 2 year contract. Those kids would jump at the chance to make money and still be draft eligible.

They should focus on mobile QBs who still don’t have a normal place in the NFL.
