NFL is considering rule change that Jon Gruden would probably use often

Every year, the NFL makes rule changes. Some are subtle and have little effect on the game. Others have some real juice and later this month, the league may vote in a real potential game changer.

The league is considering a rule change that would allow teams to go for it on a fourth-and-15 play from their own 25 instead of kicking an onside kick. The word is the rule has a real chance of being passed.

I love it.

Full disclosure: I’m a football purist, a snob, really. I don’t like change.

For example, I hate the playoffs have been expanded from six to seven teams.
