While September may seem like forever away, it will be here before we know it, and early next week, the league is getting together to discuss their latest set of rules.<\/p>\n<p>One rule that NFL analyst and expert Mike Payton says had Detroit Lions head coach \u201cDan Campbell written all over it\u201d won\u2019t happen, though, which is disappointing news for the team.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Onside Kick Rule and the Detroit Lions<\/h2>\n<p>In a March 27 feature for A to Z Sports, Payton says that we already have the intel that one thing that won\u2019t change for the following season is the onside kick.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe UFL recently changed to a rule that had Dan Campbell written all over it,\u201d Payton said in the piece. \u201cThey got rid of the onside kick in favor of one 4th-and-12 attempt from the kicking team\u2019s 28-yard line.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that \u201cthe NFL has already made the onside kick meaningless by making it so teams have to declare to their opponents that they intend to try it. There were 42 onside kick attempts in 2024, and only three of them were successful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, Payton notes that \u201cit\u2019s just a useless strategy.\u201d Also, it\u2019s worth mentioning that the Detroit Lions did \u201ctwo of those attempts\u201d in the 2024 season \u201cand were unsuccessful on both.\u201d However, the Lions, of course, were successful at going for it on fourth down. It\u2019s kind of the trademark of Campbell\u2019s coaching style to go for it on fourth, and it can be the team\u2019s saving grace or downfall.<\/p>\n<p>The NFL, according to NBC Sports, was reportedly considering a change. But, executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent said on a media call on Wednesday, March 26, that the NFL will not be make any change to the onside kick rule.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a sense of you earn everything, every snap is important and some consider, you heard this from time to time, (the idea is too) gimmicky, this is not (for the) National Football League,\u201d Vincent said, per Payton. \u201cThe clubs weren\u2019t open to proposing that fourth-and-17, that model that we\u2019ve seen over the previous years.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>New Rules the NFL Could Implement<\/h2>\n<p>One of the things the NFL may do for the upcoming season is make penalties for certain actions, such as \u201cviolent and obscene gestures,\u201d harsher. During the Wednesday call, Vincent talked about how the league is planning to handle taunting penalties, as well as those for violent and obscene gestures.<\/p>\n<p>While no team is safe from such calls, Payton notes in a separate feature that Lions star Jameson Williams was fined twice during the 2024 season for a total of $45,022 for celebrations that were seen as taunting or unsportsmanlike.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVincent did not go into detail on any instances, and he did not name any names,\u201d Payton stated. \u201cHe also did not go into any detail on the league\u2019s plans to educate their players on what type of celebrations will or won\u2019t be tolerated or what the league plans to do about it in terms of fines or increased penalty yardage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Detroit Lions could have benefited from a major rule change going into the 2025 season, but they&#8217;ve gotten bad news on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18903,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18902","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-detroit-lions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
