re: Possible rule change to help defenses.

On a turnover you should be allowed to throw one forward pass. This would make the game more enjoyable for everyone and give the defense a better chance to score.

Example: Run up the middle and the ball gets knocked out. Linebacker picks it up and as long as he doesn't try to advance the ball past where he picked it up he can sling it over to the db who broke for the endzone as soon as he saw the loose ball.

You could even have a situation where you are down a touchdown with a minute left and put your qb in at safety and try to force a fumble for a quick score.

I don't see any reason why this wouldn't be universally accepted.

I have a rule suggestion: The defense gets to use one flash bang grenade per game.

One time whenever the D wants they can throw the grenade and catch the offense off guard.

Offense can also have a smoke grenade that they can use to disguise their play.
