PHOENIX — Instant replay will be the theme of the NFL Meetings that start here Monday at the historic Arizona Biltmore resort in the Valley of the Sun.

While owners and coaches ponder a variety of possible changes, many involving instant replay, St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke will pay homage to NFL Meetings of the past here at the Biltmore. He hopes for his own instant replay, of sorts.

Kroenke arrived here locked and loaded with ammunition to impress the owners with detailed, schematic plans for a futuristic, privately-funded, $1.86 billion stadium complex on the Hollywood Park site of Inglewood, Calif. that could be home for two NFL teams.

Although Kroenke has not exactly said so, his fondest wish is that the Rams would be one of those teams. Although construction would take three years, it is only fitting that Kroenke will make his first big presentation here at these meetings.

It was here at the 1987 league meetings that the owners voted to allow the Cardinals franchise to move from St. Louis to, well, here.

On March 15, 1995, owners at a meeting here voted against Rams owner Georgia Frontiere’s request to move from Los Angeles to St. Louis. But after Frontiere’s thinly-veiled threat of a lawsuit (and the Rams coming up with more money), one month later the owners changed their minds and with enough of their votes, approved the move.

Kroenke released renderings of the project in the Los Angeles Times Saturday, with a story by Sam Farmer describing lavish plans described by Kroenke’s representatives and HKS, the architectural firm working on the project. The newspaper was ready to read here when they began arriving.

Recently the San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders also announced their intentions of building a two-team stadium in the Los Angeles area and, in a perverse twist of history, the two original AFL rivals would pick out furniture and move in together.

Obviously, nothing can be finalized about a Los Angeles venue, or which teams would use it. But, based on history, Kroenke is picking the right place to shift his plans into high gear.

Meanwhile, in the spirit of instant replay, that system of reviewing plays accounts for 13 of 23 rules proposals suggested by either the clubs or Competition Committee.

The full report will be presented Monday morning and voted on Tuesday, although it is expected that many of the replay ideas will be whittled down and only a handful, at most, coming to a vote.

For his part, Competition Committee member and St. Louis Rams head coach Jeff Fisher strongly feels better officiating, orchestrated by vice president of officiating Dean Blandino, should be the goal rather than opening up a system to reviews of every penalty, something the New England Patriots continuously suggest.

Said Fisher, “Well, we discussed this at length. Basically (if all penalties were reviewable), to simplify things, your head coach is going to become the eighth official on the field. It’s going to be our responsibility now to determine whether or not these are fouls or not fouls and we don’t want to go there. This replay system was never designed to involve fouls.

“We think it’s our responsibility as the committee – and Dean’s doing a great job right now of improving the quality of officiating – we think we can take care of some of these issues on the field through those means rather than put ourselves in a standard where we’re looking at plays, where the standard is so different when you’re talking about on the field versus the frame-by-frame review. Again, we frame-by-framed a lot of things this past spring and it’s just not something that we support.”

Following is a look at the list of rules proposals that will be considered this week:

–Allow any call to be challenged.

–Allow penalties to be challenged.

–Allow coaches to challenge personal fouls.

–Allow personal fouls to be reviewed, but not necessarily on coaches’ challenges.

–Make all fouls that result in automatic first downs reviewable.

–Allow replay review of rulings related to hits on defenseless receivers.

–Review every foul for hits on defenseless players.

–Increase the number of coaches’ challenges from two to three.

–Add the game clock at the end of the half and end of the game to the list of things that can be reviewed on replay.

–Add the play clock to the list of things that can be reviewed on replay.

–Put fixed cameras on all boundaries of the playing field, sidelines, goal line.

–Allow a “bonus try” after a successful two-point conversion (preseason only).

–Do not allow players to push rushers when a team is punting. (This is already the rule on field goals and extra points.)

–Guarantee both teams a possession in overtime.

–Prohibit peel-back blocks by any offensive player.

–Give defensive players “defenseless receiver” protection on interceptions.

–If there’s unsportsmanlike conduct or taunting at the end of the first half, it will carry over to the second half.

–Ban running backs from chop blocking outside the tackle box.

–Allow linebackers to wear jersey numbers 40-49 in addition to 50-59 and 90-99.

–If an eligible player reports as an ineligible receiver to the referee, he must align within the tackle box.

Bylaw proposals

–Eliminate the 75-player cutdown.

–Expand rules to allow teams more contact with draft eligible players.

–Permit teams that play on Thursday to designate one player eligible to return to the active list from injured reserve.

–Permit players on Physically Unable to Perform to begin practicing earlier.

Resolution

–Allow teams with retractable roofs to open their roofs for the second half.
