As well as for drives started inside the opponent's 50. I could see the top-three scoring defenses with consistent averages in the low 20s going forward, whereas, in previous years, that'd typically land you around 10th-20th.

I had no idea some people loved watching the ball sail out of the end zone so much |

You'll see it after every score. Break a couple tackles and it will be returned for a touchdown. It's going to be a bigger part of the game than people realize. |

Don’t think it changes much for our strategy. Teams will want to make us run it back more if they can but it will be an even bigger advantage to start on the 30 than 25 for Mahomes and co. In D I still expect them to instruct Butker to wang it out of the stadium and back the D to make a stop.
I very much dislike the near total removal of the inside kick even though few coaches were brave enough to utilise it anyway. |

Reid should do the kickoffs now. Having a kicker that can tackle someone as your last line of defense will have value.

Still feel like they should just move the spot back to where only handful of kickers can blast it out of the end zone and keep the starting spot at the 20. This rule eliminates the advantage of having a kicker with a big leg.

I think it’s a pretty solid solution to the “problem.” And if some team starts putting their version of Tyreek back there and getting ridiculous results, you just kick it through the back of the end zone like the old days and give them it on the 30 (or 35 in the future). |

Was it adjusted so touchbacks are at the 30 rather than at the 25? I had seen the 35 only.
**** it. I'd still kick it through the end zone most of the time. 5 yards is nothing. |

Reading up on how the XFL does it the kicker does kick it from the 35 still but a touchback goes to the 35. Quote:

If the Chiefs D is a good as last year. Who cares about 5 yards against a poor offensive team. Just kick the ball into the endzone.

Superficially it looks a little goofy. However, if it brings some excitement back to the kicking game, I think I’m all for it. The endless touchbacks were pretty boring.

If they think the play is boring why not just place the ball on the 25. Also gets rid of the inside kick gimmick.
