New Kickoff Rule
Does anyone like the new kickoff rule? It is a bunch of crap. Who the hell thought that crap up? Hey, I know how we can make the game better. Lets make the kickoff a useless part of the game.

funny, I remember when it was always this way and hated the idea of moving it. Now I hate this.

Depends on what you call plenty. I just ran the numbers, and during Preseason 2010, 18% of kickoffs were touchbacks. So far in 2011, that number is 38%. That's a pretty hefty change in the game.

I posted this in another thread.

They knew the consequenses when they changed the rule. But unless you take away the kick off potential of a run back there will always be wedge busters. Humans weighing 260 lbs with a running head start of 40 yards launching themselfs into another player.

I get the safety reason. But, I just can;t see why they couldn't have tried something else before just eliminating kick off returns

And come the **** on people. This has been discussed in other threads, but there hasn't been a thread about it. That's not a repost.

yes, but people are acting like there were zero returns or something.

I don't like the rule much either but lets not get carried away.

Well, there were practically none in OUR game, which is the main thing people around here saw. In our game yesterday, six of eight kickoffs were touchbacks (75%). The two that WEREN'T touchbacks went for 11 and 13 yards. Based on that sample, it seems like a pretty major impact.

Teams are returning them just for practice in pre-season. You can bet your ass when it counts they won't and teams will be more than content just booting it deep into the end zone/over the end zone every time.

I'm trying hard to find something positive about the new kick-off rule and the only thing I can come up with is it will be a good time to go to the fridge and get a beer or sandwich and know you're not going to miss anything.
