I think there has to be something in the video beyond that, because why would they say the same thing twice?

In the pre-release interview, Frank stated something like "don't read too much into this hint, because we didn't put much effort into coming up with it".
What that means is that there's no weird hidden stuff, it's just a statement that change is coming, and the 2014 rule book is tossed away.
(It can be argued whether recycling is important to the hint or just the right way to get rid of a pile of paper. I vote the former, elements of past games will be recycled into this new one, but not in a way that gives veteran teams a significant advantage.)
