Rule Change that makes sense

After any first down made by the offense, use the 25 sec play clock option rather then the 40 sec rolling play clock. Meaning wait until the ball is spotted by the ref and chains set and then run the 25 sec play clock. This is used after a penalty already and other dead ball situations.
The benefit, it would allow the team to actually celebrate a chunk play and not have to call timeout because their team couldn't get downfield and set for the next play in time.
I've seen it many times where the QB is just breaking huddle and raises his arm asking for a fresh 40 sec and the ref denies the request and results in a timeout. This takes all the momentum away from the team that just earned it.
Easy change to the rule and it would help the flow.

Allow hand fighting contact downfield for the DB and receiver. Take away the low hit penalty on hitting the QB in the pocket. And takeaway the 3 yd cushion for lineman on passing plays, and make it 1 yd of line of scrimmage.

The auto ejection for targeting has to go
Should be classified as a personal foul where it takes 2 infractions to get tossed. Whit was talking ab this recently and I completely agree with him there.
For him to be ejected 3 plays into the Florida game was completely ridiculous.

Either that or no more than a quarter unless you do it again after you sit out THEN a game suspension make sense.

You think stopping the game so a team can celebrate a non-scoring play will help the flow of the game?

Getting a first down isn’t a dead ball situation.

I’ll be honest, I don’t really care if guys have time to celebrate every first down.

Sounds like they need to be more efficient or have better clock management skills.

How would it help the flow? In my opinion, having guys actually play football instead of celebrate after every first down helps the flow of the game.

This would have the opposite effect that you think it would. Chains are typically reset in 5-10 seconds which would result in 30-35 seconds between plays instead of the 40 and allow less time for your wanted celebrations.

How about players learn not to celebrate excessive to the point that they cannot get lined up for next play.
