Thoughts on the new kickoff rules
Mine so far:

Butker shorting kicks is like driving a Corvette on a gravel road

The NFL made something so simple-so confusing

Going into the season with the attitude of "We will just have to see what happens. There are scenarios we have not thought of yet" is the stupid thing I have heard in football. It would not be a good business plan, or educational plan. But but it seems that is how everything is approached today.

Roast away.

I think you will see a lot of touchbacks even with the new rule

It’s stupid. I bet it’s one and done (the league is testing it on a one season run)

Pat McAfee mentioned potential issues with guys leaving the line early, and how much are they actually going to enforce that in big games.... I could see that being shitty.

Besides that.... meh, unless every drive is suddenly starting at the 40 or midfield, who cares... and it's better than the pointlessness of touchbacks.

Complicated new rules causing new controversies in the post season?

I'm shocked I tell you.

And it hasn't happened, yet.

Just get rid of the damn kickoff and be done with it.

Actually paid attention. that's a plus.


I think there's opportunities to make some big plays. We'll see how Toub calls them during an actual live game in a few weeks, but I'm cautiously excited.

IMO, its the worst thing to happen rule wise in the NFL in recent memory. It seems like it belongs in the XFL rather than the NFL.

I really don't like it. I don't like that the players can't leave until...um...the ball hits the ground? Just really awkward and it also decreases the value of a good kicker who can boot the shit out of the ball. Just have the same rules as last year and move it 5 or 10 yards back. That would actually REWARD having a good kicker.

I forget the exact year, but I think they actually moved it forward 10 yards at some point to increase the likelihood of touchbacks? They wanted to discourage players returning the ball because returns caused the most amount of concussions by a large margin.

This change I guess is supposed to be a middle ground between the two? They want to encourage returning the ball but they don't want players having half a field to build up speed and create full speed collisions.

I don't mind players being unable to move until the ball is caught, but I really don't like the different fair catch "zones" which place the ball in different locations. Just way too much to keep track of.
