    I saw it yesterday in a college game. Not only were they marking the first down line with yellow, they also marked the line of scrimmage - I like that. Have not seen the NFL do this yet...

    1. For scrambling QBs you can easily see if they cross the line right away.
    2. Can see if someone is lined up offsides.
    3. Can see if the runner makes it back to the line.
    4. Etc Etc Etc
    5. Because I like it.:cool:

    I agree it'd be nice... the XFL did it... college ball is doing it... the NFL should pick it up as well
