It seems they upped the potential call, non calls considerably. I'm just not seeing a lot of upside and they've also neutered the onsides kick so the success rate is now like 5% or something? Sheeish. Just give the other team the ball at the 25 or 30 and be done with it. Or some alternative like the 4 and 15 but I think it would be hard to get teams to agree on that because it would favor some teams. |

I'm a traditionalist, I guess. I do not want to see the kickoff go away. There was a time, not even that long ago, when the kickoff was potentially one of the most exciting plays in sports. And the Chiefs benefited from a lot of those plays. Players like Dale Carter, Mecole, Dexter, Tyreek, and Dante Hall were KC heroes for their exploits in the return game. Then fears of CTE neutered it. I get why, but watching endless touchbacks sucked. I'm willing to give this set up a try for a season or two, if it means saving kickoffs and making them fun/exciting again. And just conceding the 25-yd line is so soft and weak. In football you're supposed to fight for every yard. |
