ORLANDO Miami Dolphins Jerseys 2019 , Fla. (AP) — T player from lowering his head to initially make any sort of hit with his helmet likely will be included in replay reviews for officials.That has not been decided yet, but Commissioner Roger Goodell and competition committee chairman Rich McKay made it clear Wednesday that video reviews probably will be part of the process.“If we’re able to have replay confirm one of these fouls and also confirms a player be ejected,” Goodell said as the league meetings concluded, “I think there is more confidence among the coaches it will be called accurately.”After noting the unanimous approval of the new rule among coaches, Goodell said on-field officials felt the same way.“We think that is appropriate to do and it would be the first time we use replay for safety or in respect to any kind of foul,” Goodell added.Late Tuesday, the owners rewrote the rule on using the helmet, making it a 15-yard penalty for any player to lower his head to initiate any hit with the helmet. McKay called it “a significant change,” noting that it was a “technique too dangerous for the player doing it and the player being hit.”While the offender could be disqualified, owners did not call for an automatic ejection on such a play — at least not yet. In college football, when a player is penalized for targeting and a replay review affirms it, he is ejected.Including replay will be discussed and very possibly implemented at the NFL’s May meetings in Atlanta, where another full agenda will include discussions of changes to the league’s national anthem policy; the potential sale of the Carolina Panthers; and awarding the 2019 and 2020 drafts to two of the five finalist cities.Before then, Goodell stressed that the workings of the new helmet use rule will be made clear to the players.“Our intent is to go to each team with tape and all the analysis work done (by the football operations, technology and medical staffs) and be able to present it to them,” Goodell said. “We can take the head out, and we do want to make sure certain techniques are not used in our game.”Like the coaches, the owners were emphatically behind the change.“We’ve done so much research and investigation on what creates the real concussive plays in the NFL Isaiah Prince Jersey nfl draft ,” Eagles owner Jeff Lurie said, “and it became obvious that so many of the plays are through the lowering of the helmet and using the helmet as a weapon. I thought this (rule) was very important.”Earlier, owners passed two more rules changes.Most noteworthy, the league eliminated the requirement that a team that scores a winning touchdown at the end of regulation kick the extra point or go for a 2-point conversion.In a January playoff game that Minnesota memorably won on a final pass play, New Orleans players were required to return to the field after leaving for a meaningless extra point. The Vikings took a knee.Of course, bettors and fantasy players could have a stake in the PAT, but neither participating team did, particularly now that points scored or points differential is so low in any tiebreaking procedures.The owners also approved closing an overtime loophole that could have been embarrassing had it ever occurred.Now, if the team that gets the ball first scores a field goal, then the opponent loses possession by an interception or fumble on its first series, the down will be permitted to run to its conclusion, including awarding points scored by either team during the down.Previously, the turnover ended the game regardless — even though the team getting the takeaway conceivably could itself turn over the ball on that play and see it returned for a score by the opponent.Got it?

The team released their first depth chart of the offseason earlier today, which brings us to our updated 53-man roster prediction.Just before the start of training camp Infant Isaiah Prince Jersey , we put together our predictions, filling all 53 spots. Now, with some training camp practices complete, we can get a little better idea of how the roster might fall. Of course, all of this can and will change over the next few weeks as players find comfort in their roles and the system, or fall off from early flashes.Here is my latest prediction of the 53-man roster, with comments on what has changed from the pre-training camp edition.Offense (26)QuarterbacksRyan FitzpatrickJosh RosenChanges: None. Fitzpatrick is listed as the first-string quarterback on the depth chart, with Rosen second. The position battle between them has gotten closer in recent days, with Rosen starting to look like he has found some comfort in the system while Fitzpatrick is playing back to the norm. Jake Rudock is third on the depth chart and is likely on the wrong side of the cut line.Running backsKenyan DrakeKalen BallageMyles GaskinChanges: None. Mark Walton is listed as the third running back on the depth chart, with Patrick Laird fourth, then Gaskin fifth, but I still feel the draft status of Gaskin helps him here. I think it comes down to Walton or Gaskin, and it could be both if the team finds a way to make the numbers work.FullbackChandler CoxChanges: None. Cox should easily make the roster as the team’s fourth running back/only fullback.Wide receiversKenny StillsDeVante ParkerAlbert WilsonJakeem GrantBrice ButlerPreston WilliamsChanges: None. I still do not know how the receivers will work out. Stills, Parker, and Wilson are listed as the three starters. Grant, Isaiah Ford, and Trenton Irwin and the second-team. Then Williams, Butler Football Isaiah Prince Jersey , and the recently acquired Allen Hurns. Saeed Blacknall and Reece Horn make up the final group. Butler is probably the most bubble player of the projected roster group - though that is contingent on Williams continuing to perform. Ford and Hurns probably could make a case for a roster spot. The Dolphins may not have a “number one” receiver or a star at the group, but they have a lot of depth here, so it will be interesting to watch how it all unfolds over the next few weeks. I have left it the same as last time, but could see a couple of changes easily happening.Tight endsMike GesickiDwayne AllenDurham SmytheNick O’LearyChanges: None. The Dolphins listed Gesicki, Smythe, and O’Leary as the starters at the position, then Clive Walford, then Allen, and finally Chris Myarick. I think Allen’s position is pretty strong with the team, and his injury the reflection of his depth chart position. Gesicki may not be a “starter” in the terms of a every-down, in-line tight end, but he is going to see plenty of playing time. O’Leary gives the team another pass catcher, while Allen is an all-around guy, and Smythe is a blocking tight end. All four making the roster makes sense unless Miami is struggling to find a spot somewhere.Offensive linemenLaremy TunsilMichael DeiterDaniel KilgoreShaq CalhounJesse DavisKyle FullerChris ReedIsaiah PrinceZach SterupJaryd Jones-SmithChanges: This should not come as a surprise, but the only real changes right now on the offense come along the offensive line. The coaches do not yet seem to know how the line will come together, so this will continue to be in flux throughout the preseason. Tunsil is obviously the left tackle, and the rest of the group could all change. Deiter has been working as the left guard, and he seems to be settling into that role Isaiah Prince Miami Dolphins Jerseys , but he is still a rookie and making rookie mistakes at times. Kilgore at center continues. Calhoun moves into the starting right guard spot, with Davis then kicking out to right tackle. This doesn’t match the depth chart, where Davis is still listed as the starting right guard and Jordan Mills has the right tackle position. It just feels like the coaching staff - including the change of offensive line coaches already - are not high on Mills. I have actually dropped Mills completely off the roster right now, just because I am more comfortable with Sterup as a backup tackle, Prince is a draft pick, and I like the upside of Jones-Smith. If Mills is going to make the roster, he needs to be impressive soon. Fuller and Reed give guard and center depth.Defense (24)Defensive endsCharles HarrisTank CarradineJonathan WoodardNate OrchardChanges: Jonathan Ledbetter falls off the roster for Nate Orchard - who was a linebacker in the last projection. I would like to keep him, but I feel like Orchard is slightly ahead of him, and provides Miami some more veteran options on the line. Harris, Carradine, and Woodard all remain the same.Defensive tacklesChristian WilkinsAkeem SpenceVincent TaylorDavon GodchauxChanges: None. I still would like to find a way to Get Jamiyus Pittman, but so far cannot do it. Also of note, the Dolphins still list Durval Queiroz Neto as a defensive tackle on the depth chart, but they also list him as a guard - which is where they have been playing him recently.LinebackersJerome BakerRaekwon McMillanKiko AlonsoSamuel EguavoenChase AllenAndrew Van GinkelTre WatsonChanges: The first change is Orchard now being listed as a defensive end. The second change is Jayrone Elliott coming off the roster after Miami released him. Eguavoen clearly is making the roster at this point, having been working with the first team in practice. Watson becomes the last member of the position group, adding depth from a player who appears to be having some good practices right now. Recently signed Nick DeLuca could make a case of himself, but will have to come on strong quickly. Mike Hull also comes off the roster in this projection, as he continues on the Physically Unable to Perform list Miami Dolphins Jerseys Stitched , freeing up a spot.CornerbacksXavien HowardMinkah FitzpatrickTorry McTyerEric RoweCornell ArmstrongChanges: Removed Cordrea Tankersley(PUP) and added Cornell Armstrong. The first depth chart is odd for the Dolphins when it comes to cornerbacks. Bobby McCain has moved to safety on the chart, but Minkah Fitzpatrick is listed behind him there and not at cornerback. It feels more and more like the “no name” defense the Dolphins are running is real, and by the time we get to the final projection, this will simply be “defensive backs,” not cornerbacks and safeties. Howard and Rowe claim the first two spots on the depth chart, with Howard an obvious lock as the starter, and Rowe probably an easy roster lock. The Dolphins then go to Jomal Wiltz and Cornell Armstrong as the second-team, neither of whom were on my first projection. McTyer and Jomal Davis are the third-team, with Tyler Patmon and Chris Lammons fourth, and Nik Needham and David Rivers fifth. Tankersley is still on the PUP list, and he may be there a while, so that is another roster spot that can be opened up if he is not ready to play in Week 1.SafetiesReshad JonesT.J. McDonaldBobby McCainWalt AikensChanges: None. Maurice Smith and Montre Hartage could both land on the roster, but these top four seem pretty well locked into roster positions. Jones, McDonald, and McCain will all see plenty of playing time in exotic formations, while Aikens is a key special teams player.Special Teams (3)Kicker: Jason SandersPunter: Matt HaackLong snapper: John DenneyChanges: None. The Dolphins waived Stone Wilson, locking Haack back into the roster for this year.
