The proposal to change the GM and head coach hiring cycles - pushing back the start of interviews for all clubs until after conference championship games and no hires until after the Super Bowl - was tabled for more discussion by the diversity committee, per Pelissero. Coaches often avoided tying preseason games late, but the rule ensures playing overtime won't be an option in exhibition games. The Eagles could bring back their proposal next year. Pelissero noted that Philly still believes in its motion to add a fourth-and-15 option to retain possession but agreed to test out the onside kick change this year. With the competition committee's proposal on onside kicks passing, the Eagles tabled their fourth-and-15 alternative.The hope is that the tweak will help make onside kicks easier for the kicking teams to recover. A onside kick proposal from the competition committee to limit the receiving team to players in the "setup zone" was approved.The hope is the increase in allowed communication will lead to fewer errors on objective calls that can be clearly seen on television.
