One thing ive not seen anyone mention but has bugged me for years .

Ball placement of a guy being downed near ( but normally clearly just past the first down marker). In previous years, your player could be almost a yard past the first down marker before touching the ground and it would end up being 2nd or 3rd and short every single time .It never failed.

So far this year, i have seen several "close calls" as you might call them and each time i felt the ball placement was correct either i clearly got the first down or i was short . But so far im seeing the ball placement be much more representative of where he actually went down at. A very welcome change.
