NFL Umpire position change
I am not a football official, although I do officiate other sports.
I heard a blurb on ESPN this morning that the NFL is either considering or has already made a change to have the umpire positioned in the offensive backfield opposite the referee. They say that the umpire was knocked down approx 100 times last season, and there were 3 - 4 injuries, including concussions amongst those injuries. Any thoughts or opinions on the effects of this change and do you think it may trickle down to college and HS eventually?
