Plus, should teams be given all their timeouts for the season in bulk? Bill gives his take. Later, he discusses why opening up the replay review jar creates more problems. Finally, should the NFL Draft be abolished and replaced with an open auction for rookie contacts? Bill weighs the pros and cons.
