We don't play the 49ers every year though so my guess would be most teams teach their players the rules and have this down after a few weeks. |

A terrible, pathetic gimmick that can potentially swing games against lesser teams

I really thought I was going to like it, but what I've seen so far is pretty uninspiring. It has potential, but everyone looks pretty uncomfortable early on, which is understandable.
I'm willing to give it some time as the players and coaches figure it out. |

I guess the next two games are the time to get the screw-ups out of the way and get it figured out. Lets hope the officials get it figured out so that somebody get a safety and the ball because an official had head-in-rectum disease.

Will getting the ball 5 yards closer make a big difference on whether they score with that possession? I'd bet the data says no. |

I assume we are seeing the worst possible outcomes for this at the moment, teams are still learning and also won't want to put any tricks/aggressive return strategies out there in training camp.
I think I like it so far, assuming it just gets better from here. It's actually a play where something can happen and is worth watching unlike kickoffs previously. Quote:
The data says starting at the 30 rather than the 25 is actually very significant for an offense. |

You would think the NFL was forcing fans to solve differential equations given all the comments about how super confusing this is for everyone.

Well in fairness, they have practiced their balls off in the summer heat for the last 3 weeks and then get on a flight and head to steamy Jacksonville. Reid works his guys harder than anyonhe in camp and his preseason record doesn't mean shit.
