I am a big proponent of a helmet communication device for the defense.

Spygate to spark change?

The Washington Post writes today that NFL owners, in the wake of Spygate, might be more inclined to pass a rule change this year that allows one defensive player to have a communication device in his helmet.
"That should push this [approval of the proposal] over the top," said one NFL owner, who spoke to reporter Mark Maske on the condition of anonymity because of the controversial nature of the topic and the recent congressional interest in it.
"If there are no defensive signals, there's nothing to steal and nothing to videotape. I'm sure the league will want this and that should get it done."
The issue is expected to be discussed at NFL owners meetings starting March 30.
