By Bill Bradley, contributing editor  NFL owners on Tuesday pa sed all four player safety rules proposed by the Competition Committee at the Annual Meeting in Phoenix, .  The new safety rules pa sed were:  Expanding the Bill Lee Jersey  protection for receivers who are considered defensele s players. It would give the intended receiver protection following an interception, which would trigger a 15-yard penalty.  Making the chop block illegal by running backs outside the tight end, resulting in a 15-yard penalty.  Abolishing peel-back blocks by all offensive players, and not just those inside the tackle box, resulting in a 15-yard penalty.  Expansion of the rule that makes it illegal to push a teammate into the line to include punts as well as place kicks and will cause a 5-yard penalty.  Earlier in the day, a rule that allows medical observers to call a time out to examine a play that might have been injured.  Pedro Martinez Jersey
