The NFL voted to tweak the rules governing the use of replay review on Tuesday, but they didn’t approve the use of video on the tablet computers used on sidelines.
The league tabled the issue for the 2016 season in order to devote further study to the issue. Joseph Person of the Charlotte Observer reports that coaches will be allowed to look at replays on the sideline during preseason games this summer as part of that ongoing examination of the issue.
It’s hard to imagine that there will be too many coaches who would be against the idea of reviewing film of the game as it unfolds, although it seems we’ll find out soon enough exactly how much technology there will be on the sideline in the future.
A proposal from the Redskins to eliminate the cut from 90 to 75 players during preseason and just have one cut from 90 to 53 players was voted down on Tuesday.
