They&#8217;re getting rid of the Tush Push and making a field goal from 60 yards or more worth 4 points.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t like getting rid of the Tush Push. I believe it can be solved on the field and that it exposes the NFL&#8217;s subjectivity in its &#8220;Replay Assist&#8221; feature.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the field goals, the four-point marker should be set up at the Dempsey Line of 63 yards and anything beyond that.<\/p>\n<p>Since PATs are now 33-yard kicks, make kicks 33 yards worth two points, and kicks inside the 20 worth one. If the goal is to create more drama, then create more drama.<\/p>\n<p>Has anybody seen the ABA documentary, &#8220;Soul Power&#8221;\u2026?

Corners are a huge gamble in the draft.<\/p>\n<p>What would you be more inclined to do as a Rams fan?<br \/>\nExtend Byron Young at 4yrs\/112-Rocks, 28-Rocks annually. (Some reports have Young&#8217;s market value at 35 to 37-Rocks)&#8230;Or would you sign free agent Baltimore Ravens center Tyler Linderbaum at 4yrs\/80-Rocks\u201453-Rocks guaranteed?<\/p>\n<p>Linderbaum between guards Steve Avila and Kevin Dotson, and a playmaking WR added at #13 in the draft?\u2026I can already hear them crying in the streets of Seattle and San Francisco.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026And this is an impression I want to give.
