NFL management also concerntrated on Umpires health along with Overtime in their meeting. Umpires fell down more than 100 times in the 2009 NFL season.
Two NFC North coaches Childress and Green Bay’s Mike McCarthy expressed their views about the changes and both believe it will help the passing game and perhaps offer quarterbacks better protection as well.
“It’s a great change,” McCarthy said. The teams will lose the opportunity to run pick plays using the umpire, which we all know happened regularly. But as Childress pointed out, “that area will be wide open now.”
“That’s a big deal to the passing game,” Childress said. I asked him if it was a bigger deal than losing pick plays. “I think it is,” Childress said. “Definitely.”
McCarthy noted that that plenty of incomplete passes over the years have resulted from quarterbacks trying to throw around or over the umpire.
