If a circumstance arises in which one comes up with multiple potential rule changes, any of which we believe may reduce concussion rates on punt plays and is backed by data, how should we proceed? i.e. must we pick one single rule change WE feel is most efficacious and most in the general spirit of the game of football? Or could our slide summary include multiple potential ideas, leaving it up to the NFL which would be best to adopt?
