So more new rules which favor the offense are going to be in effect:

Hochuli, the body-by-Popeye referee with something of a cult following among NFL fans, forecasts heavy flag-tossing early.
"I would expect there may be more fouls called in the first preseason game and the first regular-season game," Hochuli said. "The big one is holding. We've also tightened up the rule on illegal contact. We've always given a little leeway on that.
"If the defender has got his feet stationary, he's got a right to that spot. But if the defender moves in, suddenly it's on the defender because he stepped in front of the receiver.
"That's what we're looking for. It's like the block charge in basketball."
