Should be easy to put sensors in the nose of the football and see how far the nose achieved on each down.
Difficult part would be to make sensors that could handle the abuse of the football including kicking it. |

Which seems like an easy thing they could have done years ago. I'm not all that familiar with what tech they're planning to use here, but it'd be pretty easy to put a laser in the first down marker and turn it on when they need to make a "measurement" rather than taking 2-3 minutes for the chain gang tome out and do their thing.

That's even more reeruned. A "technical innovation" that will pinpoint exactly where the 70 year old geriatric referees determine the ball should be placed. If you're going to use tech do it properly and take out the refs being ****ing blind and stupid factor instead.
