One other rule change that I think is interesting. It appears that there will be new rule which allows a team which scores a TD to accept the penalty against their opponents and have it enforced on the succeeding spot. So, in short, they can have the touchdown AND the foul. Seems kinda weird to me.

Doc-
It is merely the return of a rule that they got rid of a few years back. (OK, maybe quite a few years ago!)
It used to be the scoring team got the touchdown and the penalty was always enforced on the kickoff. (Never on the PAT as the PAT was treated as a seperate entity.)
I thought it was dumb when the got rid of the rule and I applaud them for bringing it back.
It is unclear if the new rule will give the scoring team the option of taking the penalty on the PAT or the Kickoff but my suspicions are it will be so as to be the same as the NCAA rule!
