[Nconroe]

Found this list - the cut blocking from side and fumble recovery reviewable rules seem to be main items of note.

Rules proposals
1. Move kickoffs to 40 - FAILED
2. Allow personal fouls to be reviewable - FAILED
3. No OT in preseason - TABLED
4. Extend goalposts 5 ft higher - PASSED
5. Move the line of scrimmage for extra-point kicks to the 25. (Run/pass conversions from the 2) - TABLED
6. Add 6 cameras to boundary lines to supplement TV network for replay - TABLED
7. Allow a coach to challenge any official's decision - FAILED
8. Extend roll-up blocks from behind to include such blocks from the side (adding "and from the side" to existing rule) - PASSED
9. Connect the officiating command center to the field-to-booth communication relay - PASSED
10. Recovery of a loose ball reviewable; also reorganize Article 4 & 5 to enhance understanding - PASSED
11. Allow the clock to run after a quarterback sack - PASSED
12. Pass interference can occur at or beyond the line of scrimmage, eliminating the 1-yard "pick" zone - TABLED
13. Simplify enforcement points (no specifics, but generally complex situations like a defensive foul on a net-loss, fouls on change of possession) - PASSED

Bylaw proposals
1. Increase active roster from 46 to 49 for teams playing Thurs-Fri-Sat games - TABLED
2. Increase practice squad from 8 to 10 - TABLED
3. Trade players prior to the start of the league year - TABLED
4. Eliminate the preseason cutdown to 75, just have one cutdown to 53 - FAILED
5. Increase injured reserve/designated for return to more than 1 player - FAILED
6. Expand teams' ability to do testing and timing at regional combines - TABLED
7. Shift the roster cutdown to 53 to be 4pm ET instead of 6pm ET - PASSED

did you notice that the items that cost more money were voted down or tabled?

(other than making the goal post taller).
