The New Kickoff Rule Is Stupid
-
I hate the new kickoff rule. It takes game changers like Devin Hester and Josh Cribbs out of the game, diminishing their value. There needs to be an immediate change.
-
I feel like the rule is going to be changed at the end of the year. It's gotten way more backlash than they expected I believe.
-
It's really dumb.
-
it's honestly like they looked at the historical data from the last time this changed in the early 90's and just stupidly assumed the stats would remain the same too. I think they said they expected the touch back percentage to be close to 30% now, but mark my words once these kickers get into regular season form it's going to be around 55%. Kicker's legs have become exponentially stronger, I do honestly believe this could change right back come next year.

Even moving up to the 35 I am not sure Dawson can kick it far enough that often to force a touchback. His kicks have usually gone to about the 5 yard line. Fair to say?

I realize it's only preseason but it seems to me that most kicks into the endzone are being run out as compared to last year...
Also, since the kicking team can no longer get a running start it sort of balances out advantages for both the kicking and receiving team...
I'm in agreement that this is an unnecessary rule change but if you can break the 1st wave of tackelers you might see more returns taken all the way....
