More return yardage & less injuries are the main goals. So far it seems to be working. I’m on the fence. Seems like letting Butker kick tb’s would be the best strategy for the Chiefs in most situations.

On NFL pre-game, Baldinger said he’s heard that teams want to try experimenting with this new kickoff in preseason but expects mostly touchbacks in the regular season

The NFL doesn't want injuries and CTE. And they don't have the balls to just get rid of kickoffs if they are going to pretend they can create rules that give the kicking team an incentive to have a returnable ball and also the level of safety they appear to want. Look, I'm fine with how kickoffs used to be, but touchbacks are rather pointless and if the NFL doesn't want the bodies flying down the field like you get in kickoffs, fine. I don't see it as sacred. Just kill it. Don't create a complicated mess to officiate that doesn't really solve what I think they are trying to solve. |

Meh. It's a new play, with a bunch of new rules. Was always going to take time for teams and refs to get their feet under them. We'll see what it looks like come Week 10 or so.
Glad not to see 8 touchbacks in a row though. So much better actually seeing returns regularly. |

It's ****ing football not splitting atoms. Get a young go getter in there that wants to work at his craft.

Toub's been one of the best STs coaches over the last two decades. Further, his unit has never let the team down when it mattered. In fact, in every playoffs run his unit has been not just a net positive, they've been a critical weapon the team needed to win a Ring. I'm going to go waaaaaaay out on a limb here and guess that his unit is going to be just fine. But I get that complaining about Toub/STs is a CP tradition, so have at it. |

He is a primadonna who gets his picks as locks on his special teams. He has for years rested on his laurels. The young ST coaches except what they get at cutdowns and make it work on the field. Chicago dumped him at the right time. Andy needs a young and fresh mind in there and send the George Hamilton of the tanning bed packing.

Yah, basically until the playoffs. Then when they pull off yet another great return that ends up winning the game, or some other critical play, they’ll be curiously quiet about Toub/our STs unit. Until next year. SSDD. |

Who could of known that allowing young, fast, strong players to get a 40 yard running head start before contact might be bad for the players? |
