If you could change one rule in the NFL, what would it be?

There were 16 rule change proposals at the owners meetings in Phoenix. Everything from altering the overtime rules to automatically reviewing plays that are short of the yardage to gain on fourth down. There were plenty of proposals that were ambitious, to put it mildly. That created some good discussion on what rules or sequences that could and should be changed.

With the amount of technology in today’s world, the NFL is still in the stone age with regards to penalties. I understand “that’s always how things have been”, but it just seems like in 2019 you should have more automated processes.
