"One of the two rules Washington proposed for the upcoming owners meetings --where a vote on the Raiders relocation is expected as well as a proposal to make significant changes to instant replay -- is a proposal to benefit accurate kickers with big legs.

Rules proposal No. 6 proposes the league “moves the line of scrimmage to the 20-yard line for any touchback where the free kick travels through the uprights.”

Currently the NFL places touchbacks on kickoffs at the 25-yard line after the league passed a rule change in 2016 . And there’s not, as far as we know, any actual data about what kickers are sending kickoffs through the uprights."

 

 

What do you guys think about this rule possibility? I kind of like it myself. It gives  teams with a kicker that has a strong leg an extra chance for better field position, especially if their coverage team isn't that great.It'll be interesting to see how this rule plays out if approved.

I hope they pass this.  It is actually a really cool idea.  In a game where every yard matters, not only does it reward you for putting your all into each and every kicmoff, it adds fan interest in what has become an extremely uninteresting play.  Instead of shrugging off a useless play, we will now be interested in whether or not they can get it through the uprights.

Furthermore, it will also increase interest for stat geeks.

Not to mention is gives teams an incentive to kick it away and not try the short kickoff, which plays  into the whole safety thing the NFL has been focused on.

With the help of the networks, they can place two rings on the sides of the goal posts. One is worth 25 points, the other, a C list actor is put to death. Of course that list will be have to be kept up to date. And from time to time, might have to reach up to the B actors. Yeah, I'm looking at you David Giuntoli.

I like the use of props like in that old MTV allstar game where there was like 2 additional baskets above the main hoop. Could be interesting.

      Interesting: Former CAR RB Mike Davis Harshly Criticizes McCaffrey, Calls Him "Selfish as Poo"

      By CRA · Posted

      Mike Davis is like yeah, why would these coaches expect me to watch film on our next opponent if I'm playing good.  Yeah, I really don't pay attention to a lot of stuff around me if I'm doing good.   also Mike Davis, how dare they give all the reps to CMC.  from just listening to that interview, I think Mike Davis likely was often in Mike Davis' way and he can't comprehend that aspect.  Even his story of why he hated people.....was weird.  He hated Steve Spurrier because Spurrier was like hey Mike, Marcus Lattimore left...and we need you to step up into that role/void and be more for us.   And Mike Davis was like, can you believe that motha trucka!! Nah Steve.  Just give me the ball and leave me alone (paraphrasing it all obviously but that was the gist).

      Unless he's 1,000%, just sit him an extra week at this point to let him get his legs back under him. I want to see him out there as much as the next guy, but this was a serious thing and I'd rather wait an extra week than put him out one day too early and risk something going wrong, play the long game for once.

      God, these posts are really starting to piss me off If we're relying on Moore, Idzik, and Canales to carry that weight, then we're royally screwing over our young WR room.  It's not that those guys can't help with some of it, but these young promising WRs are going to miss out on a lot of learning that can only be provided by the vets on the team.   You do realize that coaches spend ZERO time in the locker room, right?   They are only in there just before games and at halftime, but the rest of the week, they have their own locker room, they only spend time with the players on the field and in the film room.  There is soooooo much time that you're leaving unaccounted for where players are working together to get better. Players are constantly talking about their game and how they can improve while they're in the locker room.  If you think career long special teamer David Moore is going to be able to carry that water in the locker room, then you're sorely and woefully mistaken. Even beyond that, if a coach pulls a player aside to give advice between series, that still means there are 4-5 other WRs who aren't getting individual advice, where that's normally a time a vet like Thielen is going over with them what he's seeing out there and how they can do X, Y, or Z to do A, B, or C better on the next drive.
