Amid talks with the NFL’s Referees Association, ESPN reported that the NFL has put the program for full-time officials on hold. Could this lead to a bigger, more pressing issue prior to the season’s kickoff?However, for those fans that question if the refereeing will be altered, think again. Per ESPN’s Kevin Seifert, this move isn’t expected to have much impact Geno Atkins Jersey , if any, on the play of the game this upcoming season.“From a practical standpoint, the move will have minimal impact on officiating this season. Most of the additional responsibilities assigned to full-time officials are focused on offseason work. Functionally, all officials work full-time once the preseason begins. But the move represents a step backward for coaches, players and fans who have implored the NFL to use every means available to improve its officiating.”There are an array of trainings, rule development and clinics that these officials go to and have to follow. That being said, it isn’t an easy job that they have Michael Jordan Jersey 2019 , oftentimes being under scrutiny despite making the right call.This is one of the only major developments in officiating since the league’s standoff since the 2012 lockout. That was an issue for the league as the substitute officials missed numerous calls on seemingly every play. The referees proved that they’re irreplaceable or, at least, hard to replace immediately. That showcased their importance to the league and how it cannot provide the same product without them. That experience should give them some advantage if labor talks once again heat up to that level.This will be a development worth keeping an eye on over the next few months as the training camps and preseason quickly approach. 21. CINCINNATI BENGALS (7-9)LAST SEASON: After five straight playoff appearances – and NFL-record five straight first-round losses – Bengals have had back-to-back losing seasons, which would mean change at top for most teams. Instead, coach Marvin Lewis – 0-7 in playoffs – got two-year contract extension through 2019. There were moves with staff, notable for reluctant-to-change organization. Bengals fired offensive coordinator Ken Zampese after 0-2 start and replaced long-time offensive line coach Paul Alexander after season. Bill Lazor was retained as offensive coordinator for 2018 and given latitude to overhaul offense that finished last in league. Line was biggest problem, and Bengals took first step toward addressing it by acquiring LT Cordy Glenn in trade with Buffalo Michael Jordan Jersey Womens , also swapping 12th and 21st picks in first round. Defensive coordinator Paul Guenther left to join Jon Gruden with Raiders.THEY NEED: C, OT, LB, DE, S.THEY DON’T NEED: P, K, LS.POSSIBLE FIRST PICK: C James Daniels Youth Michael Jordan Jersey , Iowa; T Connor Williams, Texas; T Mike McGlinchey, Notre Dame; LB Rashaan Evans, Alabama.OUTLOOK: Trade for Glenn was merely first step in addressing team’s biggest problem. C Russell Bodine signed two-year deal with Buffalo, leaving hole in middle of line. RT Jake Fisher had procedure to fix irregular heartbeat last season but expects to return. Until Bengals get line fixed, there’s not much hope for significant improvement. QB Andy Dalton and WR A.J. Green return for eighth season together, coming off what was least-productive one. Bengals expected top two picks last season White Michael Jordan Jersey , WR John Ross and RB Joe Mixon, to bring big-play abilities as rookies, but neither did much. Ross was hurt most of season and played in three games without getting catch; he carried one time and fumbled. Mixon became starter after Jeremy Hill got hurt and finished with 636 yards and 3.5-yard average as running game was one of worst in franchise history.—
