    The NFL finally figured out how to slow down Peyton Manning -- change the rules. Apparently, the changes are now under further review. One day after Manning drew two penalties for illegal snaps at Green Bay, coach Jim Caldwell pleaded with league officials to re-evaluate a change that forces players to wait for the umpire to get into his new position before the ball can be put in play. The league wasted no time in responding to all the complaints. "The movement of the umpire to the offensive backfield will happen in the regular season," league spokesman Michael Signora said in a statement given to The Associated Press on Friday. "We continue to analyze and review the impact of the change in the preseason, and we may announce some adjustments to the mechanics of the position prior to Week 1." Colts players and coaches think refinements are an absolute necessity after Thursday night's debacle in Green Bay.
