At the NFL’s Owners Meetings, the league approved some new rules that will impact the game on the field. The rules are primarily related to fouls, and affect the Chicago Bears the same as most teams.
No leap frog to block a kick
Only one rule was proposed by a team (Philadelphia), and it pertains to a player leaping over the offensive line in order to block a scoring kick. There isn’t a huge impact for the Bears. The positive, however, is that Bears’ fans won’t have to be sickened by watching Shea McClellin display the type of athleticism for which he was drafted, yet never really displayed in the Windy City.
