FRISCO, Texas — When the NFL Competition Committee approved a new kickoff setup during the league meetings back in March, Dallas Cowboys special teams coordinator John Fassel – who was one of the spearheading members of the group pushing the idea – compared the change to when the forward pass was introduced and when the goal posts moved from the goal line to the back of the end zone.

A little rich? Maybe. But there is no underestimating the amount of change that will go into the new rule going into 2024 for everyone involved in the play.

So what if you line drive it off of one of the 10 players, is that considered a fumble?

The ball has to land between the 0-20 yard line. I think the actual kicking part of the play becomes a major dud.
