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.

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.

It is confusing and gimmicky.

Endless touchbacks are better than this shit.

I don’t like anything that potentially takes the ball out of Mahomes’ hands more, which this rule change likely will do. Any increase in the importance/influence of special teams on game doesn’t help this team as long as we have the best QB in football.

Exactly. That was why I was not a favor of this new rule. It increases variance and a shitty teams ability to beat a far superior one.

My thoughts are that Dave Toub spent the offseason tanning on the beach. His plans for kickoffs looked like it was day one and he just received the new rules.
