The Eagles jersey number submission is just trivial and unnecessary. I still don't like the previous rule change. I preferred it when a jersey number helped identify a player's position. I'm not a fan of their proposal to replace onside kicks either.
The other submissions on the other hand seem much more sensible. I hate these restrictions on what you can challenge and what can be reviewed. How many times have we seen bad calls on personal fouls and roughing calls in the past couple of seasons, with perfectly legitimate tackles and hits being flagged?
I actually like all those proposals except for the 4th and 20 one.
I love the number change proposal but then again I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority on here about liking the last number rule change. I hate when they restrict players numbers. Let them play with what number they want to

I understand the desire to get rid of onsides, but this is crazy.
Miss an onside kick and the receiving team has the ball around the 45(?).
Throw an incompletion and the "receiving team" gets the ball at the 20. That's close to automatic points (probably 90% FG rate from there).
Even a 15 yd completion into a soft zone turns it over at the 35.
