My question is how would you attack both sides of the new rule. I am sure we haven’t seen a true kick returns until regular season.

i think teams should not use they kickers for the new kickoff rule. Need more of a flat fast kick. If the ball lands in the landing zone and goes out of the end zone, you start at the 20. We all know when a football hits the ground it could go anywhere, so you want the returners to field the ball from a bounce, which would mean the return will stay in the 20-30yds for the offense to start.

any thoughts on how you would attack the kickoff rule?

You bring up a good point--perhaps a different kind of kick that may not be something a placekicker does.  I think you will see the kick evolve

The kicker for the new rules, should kick more of a line drive kick so that it’s moving fast along the ground, but not touching the ground until the landing zone and running through the end zone  …. The offense has to start at the 20.

you know we have seen regular players attempt to kick off and it was always ugly and never seemed to get any higher the 15ft above the players head. 
 

i think it will evolve to a non kicker duty unless the NFL says only kickers can kick the ball

Just get rid of kickoffs already.  The new rules are stupid.  

I have come to accept that people just love change. The rules are getting changed in all sports. It's the sad reality.

 

Wouldn't shock me if the NFL is a flag football league in the next decade lol

This is true. However, in the NFL I can understand some of these rule changes. The players are just so much bigger, stronger and faster now. Plus they play a lot more games that they used to. IMO there aren't enough players to play good football to fill the league and especially by the end of the season with all the injuries. Seems ro me like they are looking at where the most injuries occur and then evaluate the value of the play and determining how's the best way to reduce those injuries.

For the offense, they tried to limit the bad hits by emphasizing tacking rules. I think that was a good idea. Now, the KO is the most violent part of the game with the speed. I don't like the new kickoff either but I understand why they are trying something new. Try to have it still be a part of the game but in a safer way. 

Who knows, maybe I'll get used to it and change my mind but for now it's just weird.

Would this rule end the opportunity of pulling off a surprise onside kick?

It already has.  You can't pull a surprise anymore, you have to announce you are doing it and you can only do it in the 4th quarter if you are trailing.

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.

      I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄
