They found out Wednesday that owners now have given the Competition Committee power to tweak the rule.Coaches were united in their stance that replay had to expand to include offensive and defensive pass interference after the blatant missed pass interference call in the NFC Championship Game. Cowboys coach Jason Garrett was one of the most outspoken Josh Allen Jersey , helping sway ownership to pass the rule.So now what?The Competition Committee will consider allowing coaches to challenge offensive or defensive pass interference throughout the game, including the final two minutes of each half when it typically becomes a booth review. Coaches get only two challenges per game — and a third if they get the first two overturned in their favor — and three timeouts per half. They must have one of each — a challenge and a timeout — to initiate a review.“Oh, I think it’s a long discussion. It seems like it’s still a work in progress as to how the whole thing is going to shake out, so I don’t want to be premature in my comments,” Garrett said Wednesday. “Certainly, as we came out of the owners meetings in March how they decided on it then was going to give us more of an opportunity to address some things as coaches by challenging the offensive and defensive pass interference. We’ll let the whole thing shake out and see what the rule ultimately is. I think the league is well intended. They’re trying to make sure some of these calls that tip the balance of big games can somehow get rectified. I think that’s the nature of replay in general. We’ll allow them to continue to work out what the specifics are and then we’ll figure it out from there.” NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Nobody with the Titans will ever wear Eddie George’s No. 27 nor the No. 9 of the late Steve McNair again, players who helped the franchise through its difficult relocation from Houston to Tennessee to its lone Super Bowl berth.Controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk announced Wednesday that the franchise will retire both numbers Sept. 15 at their home opener against the Indianapolis Colts.“This is a big moment for me personally because I love these guys, and I know my dad loved these guys and he will be so happy and proud that we were honoring them today,” Strunk said of her late father http://www.jaguarsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-jawaan-taylor-jersey , Bud Adams, who founded the franchise in 1960.The Titans say this will be the first time an NFL team has retired either a No. 9 or 27, giving the league 153 numbers that have been retired. McNair and George will join six other former Titans and Oilers whose numbers have been retired including Warren Moon, Earl Campbell, Mike Munchak, Bruce Matthews and Elvin Bethea — all members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.George called having his number retired a “huge honor” considering that usually requires being in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.“I couldn’t imagine having a day like this where my jersey (is) retired by myself,” George said. “It has to be with Steve. … It’s totally appropriate to have us go in together.”George, who played eight seasons with this team and made four Pro Bowls, remains both the franchise’s all-time leading rusher with 10,009 yards and all-time scrimmage yards leader with 12 Josh Oliver Jersey ,153. McNair, drafted a year before in 1995 at No. 3 overall, played 11 of 13 seasons here and remains the franchise’s second all-time leading passer (27,141 yards) behind only Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon (33,685).McNair, killed July 4, 2009, leads the franchise with 76 wins as a starter. McNair and George together went 80-48 for a .625 winning percentage with only one losing season at 7-9 in 2001 and the 2000 Super Bowl, two AFC championship games, four playoff appearances and two division titles.Mechelle McNair http://www.jaguarsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-quincy-williams-ii-jersey , his widow, was not able to attend Wednesday’s news conference. Team announcer Mike Keith read a statement she sent.“Steve would be truly honored to know that he was held in such high esteem by you,” Mechelle McNair wrote. “Retiring his jersey is a really big deal for us. It is a tangible reminder for me and the boys to know that No. 9 will forever be held in the highest regard in the Titans nation.”McNair remains one of only three quarterbacks in NFL history to throw for 30,000 yards and run for 3,500 yards with Fran Tarkenton and Steve Young. McNair earned three of his four Pro Bowls with the Titans and shared The Associated Press’ NFL MVP with Peyton Manning in 2003 as the first black quarterback to win that award.George, who won the Heisman Trophy while at Ohio State, called a wild-card playoff victory over Baltimore in January 2004 as his favorite personal memory. Asked for a favorite game moment for McNair, George said when the quarterback was named MVP. George recalled all that McNair went through with injuries, thoughts of retiring to dramatic comebacks such as coming off the bench for a divisional win in Pittsburgh in 2000.The Titans cheered McNair for 10 minutes when then-coach Jeff Fisher announced McNair had been voted MVP.“We saw all he had to go through to get to that point as an African-American quarterback. He had to overcome a lot of stigmas and a lot of stereotypes to prove himself in this league,” George said.“So it goes beyond just the numbers Ryquell Armstead Jersey , it goes beyond just what you see on the stat sheet. To see him in the locker room getting taped up and having to take naps because he was tired and beat up and have to get up the next day and go out and fight, that was our culture. That’s who we were.”Coach Mike Vrabel congratulated both George and McNair, noting he was lucky enough to have George as a teammate at Ohio State. Vrabel recalled hitting McNair in a playoff game hoping the quarterback fell like he did.“We had some great matchups against the Titans,” Vrabel said. “Those two guys were a huge part of their success here, so we’re very well aware of what they’ve done here for the Titans. Just would like to say congratulations to them.”NOTES: The Titans have agreed to terms with wide receiver A.J. Brown, wrapping up the last of their draft class.
