The NFL will test new cameras fixed along the field's boundaries to assist with replay reviews, according Tom Pelissero of USA Today Sports.
"It will be tested at MetLife Stadium a bit later this season, providing us with 10-12 games worth of data viability, impact and feasibility," said NFL spokesman Michael Signora.
Many are hoping additional angles will help the NFL referees make correct calls, such as the missed call for the illegal batted ball on Monday night in Seattle. Although these additional camera angles could help referees make correct calls, there will still be missed calls or incorrect calls.
New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has continued to push his point that NFL coaches should be able to challenge any and all calls using replay review, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk.
Others think NFL referees are paid to make the correct calls, and that many challenges throughout the game could lead to a worse product. "I think it's really hard to review subjective decisions," said Green Bay Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy, via USA Today Sports. "That's what the officials are for."
While there seems to be mixed responses regarding challenges and new camera angles to help with replay reviews, the most important thing should be getting the call correct. It will be interesting to see how these new camera angles will be implemented in replay reviews, and if it will have any impact on a Giants or Jets game this season.
