Following the announcement of a new 2016 rule change, Richard Sherman had plenty to say in regards to the new proposal.

That proposed rule is the old-fashion 2 strikes and you are  out rule. This will make it an automatic ejection if a player gets two personal fouls in a game. It would be the first real black and white ejection rule besides the rare hitting of an official.

This occurance too will be a rare event, and probably will not occur in 2016. Last year, for example, there is only one such incident of a player getting 2 personal fouls.

Despite this,the ex union player rep, who has got a NFLPA promotion, recently made sure to have his feelings on the issue heard. 

His thoughts and comments, however, were more directed at Rodger Goodell rather than the actual rules themselves. Comments that including calling the commissioner a suit and how he has never played the game. Because of this, Sherman feels he should or does not have the qualifications to make these decisions.

Although true to an extent, Goodall is not making them alone, and this rule is just in a trial run in 2016. Furthermore...the owners voted on these rules even Seattle's owner. As mentioned though, it is really a non issue that is a rare event. Chances of it happening are slim to none, and especially should not happen with the rule being known.

Sherman's points though are that Goodell does not know how easy it can be to get these personal fouls. Certainly, if you have played the game, you know how things get heated. Both verbally and physically it could easily occur, and with Sherman...he certainly likes to talk.

Sherman also made good points in regards to the catch rule. The rule will remain the same, but has recently been heavily debated with essentially noone know whatt a catch is anymore.

Sherman feels like that would be a good opportunity for former players, and hall of famers, like Chris Carter and Michael Irvin to discuss and establish a rule.

This pointed more towards a trend, perhaps Sherman would like, with players being involved with these decisions. A more democratic process, if you will, where players vote on the issues. 

A great idea but unlikely to happen. Not so much in theory, but rather players would then want compensated for this, and the NFL wont fo for that. Like any other business...employees do not have much say in these issues. 

The debate on weather they should or should not can go on forever. Would it make for a better game...probably, but the players union gave Goodell the power he currently has. Despite them giving them the power, they are the first to complain about it. 

One thing is for sure, the next collective bargaining agreement will be a big one.
