It slows the game tremendously. I would make up that time by extending halftime.I would largely adopt college rules, for safety. If you go down, you are down. You can't get up and run some more.I would allow bump and run on receivers all over the field, but, like college, one foot in would be a catch.There would be no overtimes. Ties would return. It really makes things interesting. What does overtime prove that couldn't be proven in 4 quarters? I would grant 4 points to any field goal over 50 yards. That helps an inferior team stay in games.I would set up an NFL-sponsored Spring-Summer football league. It would be composed of free agents and players off the practice squads. Each division would sponsor one team, making an 8-team league. It would keep fan interest going during the extremely long off-season. The teams could rotate one home game among the sponsoring teams. Thus the NFC North Knights would host home games in Detroit, Chicago, Green Bay and Minnehaha.</blockquote>
