The Public was seeing the Calls said Tex Schramm the president of the Dallas cowboys chairman of the rules committee and one of the principal proponents of the change. We Felt instant replay had become such a fixture that we should give the officials a Chance to see what the Public was  under the rules change adopted by the owners a replay official in a press Box will have the Power to overturn Calls involving Possession or out of Bounds plays and easily detectable infractions such As too Many men on the Field. It will not extend however to most penalties including major and controversial Calls like pass interference. The instant replay was by far the most significant in a series of rules changes approved by the owners. They ranged from the technical some adjustments on blocks allowed on punts and at the line of scrimmage to a ban on headbands and other equipment bearing logos like the headbands worn in the playoffs and super bowl by Chicago bears quarterback Jim Mcmahon.

I get nervous when it s in the press Box said George Young general manager of the new York giants who also complained that replay could overturn a minor decision on a play on which a major infraction like pass interference would be allowed to stand. But Young added in a sentiment that apparently convinced other opponents to approve the one year use that s what they decided and i have no real problem with it. 1 certainly won t lose any sleep Over  under the new replay system the league will appoint the replay official who will be stationed in the press Box with two monitors one carrying the televised feed of the game and the second attached to a video cassette recorder.
