--New Jets DE Kimo von Oelhoffen could be responsible for a potential rules change. Atlanta general manager Rich McKay, co-chairman of the NFL competition committee, said defensive players will be told they must make an effort to avoid hitting quarterbacks in the legs to avoid serious injuries, such as the hit that then-Steeler von Oelhoffen delivered on Cincinnati's Carson Palmer in the playoffs. Von Oelhoffen rolled into Palmer's left knee and left Palmer with torn ligaments.
