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 think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
