    We've had this in "soccer" for as long as I can remember. When a player is substituted it tells you how many kilometres a player has run.

    Why would this even matter in football? What position would run the furthest? I'd imagine WR & CB but who really cares?

    I agree with a poster earlier on that if the NFL are going to embrace technology then a chip in the ball is by far more beneficial. Breaking the plane of the goal line, first downs, laterals;), whether the ball was moving forward on QB fumbles. They'd also be able to pinpoint the position of the ball while using video to establish if a knee was down or not.

    Endless possibilities that would take no time for the officials. Football has the advantage that it's a stop/start game anyway. Plus the technology is there now to be used.

    It's a cool idea for sure, however I'll care more when they're able to accurately track the ball instead of relying on the refs.

    I would like to see some type of sensor placed in knee pads to know for sure if a knee is down or not, too often it looks like theyre down on film when really they arent.

    I'd like to see the data from Fokou's knee pads so we can find out how he REALLY got on the field last season.

    Could be the new version on Donnie Nickey. We all know how he stayed around all those years.

    I thought it was interesting the one week they had Yoda listed as the fastest nfl player on the field.

    Other than that, just more distractions from the game. Can't hit anyone anymore, but we can make the ball placement more accurate by 2cm.

    It would be just like the pro bowl, no titans get a mention.
