the nfl is becoming more of a pfl pussy football league. alot of players get drafted cos how well they r at kick off returns. minus will not have kickoffs since theres gonna be a touchback every time, this is a perfect example y i like college better.
definitely disappointing to hear as a bears fan. manning and hester won't have as many exciting returns, not to mention the bears have a great defensive special teams to begin with, so they don't gain much of an advantage by moving the kickoff up 5 yards. i do like the fact that they are reviewing all of the touchdowns, however
@TheUpTownFan Personally, I didn’t have a problem with the old kicking rules and special teams is certainly one of the most commonly overlooked and important aspects of the game. Player’s safety is a key concern for sure but I also want to maintain competitive balance as well. As always thanks for watching and for your continued support it is much appreciated.
@McShan8150 In the future, just watch, after people score they're probably just going to get rid of point after kick. And a touch down will be worth 7..and instead of kick off happening period, they'll just start out on the twenty yard line.
@AgrivatedKillah The NFL has put a heavy emphasis on player safety and protecting their players. While I agree with the overall intention of protecting the players a big element which often swings games one way or another has been reduced. Kickoff returns can have a tremendous effect on the game. As the weather gets colder however, I believe kickoff returns will pick up again. Why? Because kickers won’t be able to kick it as far with the weather playing a larger factor.
I have the smallest comment!
