New helmet conatct rule/proposal...I agree with Emmit Smith.

I am sure there are a lot of flaws with the following thought but please read the whole idea before bashing it.

I would really rather the NFL have a "god crew", for lack of better term, that watches all the games at one location, and they have the ability to pause a game for 15-30 seconds and initiate a review/penalty on any medical/flagrant play. Take that bang/bang type penalty out of the on field ref's hands and centralize it to one or two crews of 3 refs that call everything the same on those.

to preempt a few criticisms:
-- "to hard to watch all the games" - with Sunday, Monday and Thursday night games all season there rarely is more than a handful of games at any one time slot, maybe eight early games, which with a crew of 3 g.refs would be 2-3 screens per time slot. If you watch redzone channel, you know it's doable, when you are only watching for flagrant knock'em out type shots.
-- "it will delay the games" - the pause would only occur on obvious kill shots, we saw that reviewing every turnover and scoring play wasn't too bad, and the ability to have a consistent call on 15yd blatant penalties would help the game far more than the occasional delay. Also on many kill shot type penalties the game slows to make sure both players involved are ok.

The pro's are, take bang/bang calls off the back of on field refs, get consistency in calls by reducing the number of refs making them, letting on field refs focus on the "integrity of football" type calls.

That's my pipe dream today.
