As always guys, GREAT IDP stuff. I've dominated my league for years on the defensive side of the ball due largely to FBG!!! LOVED the interview with the NFL stats chief. I had a couple of quick questions for Jene and the rest of the defensive gurus on staff, which maybe you could cover here and/or the next roundtable:

1) Talk a little bit about any foreseen impacts of the new force-out rule. Will defenders be given a PD if they push a receiver out of bounds on a catch before they get both feet in? Seems to me regardless of whether they get a PD, the new rule incents the defender to try the push out instead of go for the ball. Might this lead to a drop-off in WR production and perhaps an increase in interference penalties if the defender goes for the push out too soon?

2) Helmet communicators: Defenses have been screaming for these for a long time. It shoud help them. Do you think it will lead to an increase in sacks or other defensive stats?
