Kyler Murray Jersey , but he was neither a running back nor a Volunteer when he finished his time in college.Hurd transferred to Baylor and moved to wide receiver for the 2018 season with an eye on avoiding the physical punishment that comes with playing running back. That went well enough for Hurd to be selected in the third round by the 49ers, although he may not be done moving around the offense.49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said he thinks Hurd could thrive as a tight end and said Hurd’s versatility sets him apart from other players. Hurd seems to agree as he called himself a “mismatch guy” who can make plays wherever the 49ers want to line him up.“I have been at slot. I can play on the outside. Obviously I have a running back background, so there’s not really any limit to me on the offensive side,” Hurd said, via ESPN.com.Hurd said he’s not going to guess about how the team will deploy him during his rookie season, but defensive coordinators may be doing a lot of it if he’s able to make the most of his chance with the Niners. So what can the NFL do about the outcome of the Rams-Saints game? Probably nothing. Bad calls happen. Sometimes, bad calls have bigger consequences than others.Still, there’s language in the rulebook that could

Then again, the rule is there for a reason; if ever it would be invoked
Andy Isabella Jersey , wouldn’t now be the time to do it?And here’s where it gets even juicier. Consider Rule 17, Section 2, Article 3: “The Commissioner’s powers under this Section 2 include . . . the reversal of a game’s result or the rescheduling of a game, either from the beginning or from the point at which the extraordinary act occurred.”Basically, the Commissioner has the power to turn back time to the spot of the penalty that wasn’t called, put the teams back on the field from that point in the game, give the Saints first and goal at the spot of the foul, put 1:49 on the clock
Brian Burns Jersey , and let the game proceed, tied at 20, with the Rams having one time out left.It’s inconceivable that it would happen, but it’s sort of amazing that the rulebook even allows for this type of an approach.And maybe that’s why the league is wrestling with the language of its expected statement acknowledging the error. Maybe the league realizes that, depending on the specific words chosen, the door to a Rule 17 proceeding could inadvertently be kicked open.
