Something has to be done with kickoff. First off, it is 99% of the time boring. Touchback after touchback, after touchback.
Then, if there is a return, there usually a penalty that negates it. Not to mention the full speed contact.
The XFL kickoff was alot of fun to watch. Never felt like it was a given result.
If you want to reduce injuries, lessen the pads and remove helmets. Guys can’t use their bodies as a human missile anymore. Rugby has no helmet or pads and they have far less injuries, especially concussions.
pat hit it on the head,people are taking a leak or getting a drink and no one’s watching the kickoff or the commercials that go with it. That’s what’s motivated this from the nfl. A team scores then commercial,kickoff then commercial,then play commences. Do they want it to be exciting? Sure. Do they want to keep raking in money and keep sponsors happy? #1 priority
If only you could actually criticize the NFL…
They should let them forward pass on the kick off, so that way each player has to guard a guy otherwise someone will be wide open, plus there would be more scoring.
What situation occurs when the ball gets placed on the 20 yard line?
Or just implement the rugby drop kick. Simple
So no onside kicks? Lol this is dumb… you stated there can be but way less strategy to them so no point of doing them…
Sounds good to me.
Next season Maxx Crosby will win DPOY!!!
This is great because it forces the 3rd part of a team to be important.
Special Teams.
Will be Special Now!
sounds like it will ruin the game.. touchback at the 35? start at the 40 if you don't hit the landing zone? That is bogus..No surprise onside kick? That itself ruins the game.
Why even have a kickoff? they just start at the 20?!?
this is one of the dumbest things i've ever heard
No Fun League is at it again. Willing to bet. The majority of starting field possessions, will favor the kickoff teams more than anything.
I want SMASHMOUTH
All these rules and concerns but will still have boxing😂
This seems like a ton more work than the proposal from a few years ago to just turn the kick off into a punt play with some kind of analysis to figure out how long the "4th and X" option would need to be to make it equivalent to an onside kick.
Soooo, it’s a punt that’s hit from a tee. 😂
Why not eliminate kick off all together and have offense start at the twenty I see a lot of games won and lost because of this new kickoff rule
I actually like this concept
We all know it's a scripted sport now, so why not just kick the ball, and where it lands on the field is where the other team starts. No run backs, no one gets hurt, problem solved. Put flags on their waist and just call it NFFL.
This is lame
They should replace the onside kick with the Schiano Rule.
XFL…. is doin it right. Ok guess now its UFL.
Also the greatest sport on earth is hockey.
Well that eliminates the surprise on side kick
