New Kickoff Rule Proposed by Redskins.

"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.

    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
