It has an effect on kick returns because with no running start players are further away from the receiving player when He catches the ball and the receiving player may actually be encouraged to go for it, instead of accepting the touchback, but the covering players are still moving at the same speed that they would be with a running start and the energy they hit with is exactly the same whether they get a running start or not, so if the intention of the rule is to limit the number of kick returns it's not going to work.It definitely has effect on kick returns running start. I'm there for seconds faster I think you actually got it backwards. It has no effect on onside kicks I agree with that makes them impossible. But that's what you need to win you shouldn't be in that situation anyways I think that's what the league thinks
I totally disagree. That running start gets me 5 yards downfield quicker. Without a doubt.

I like onside kicks, it's that final moment of drama, that last slim hope/moment of nervous tension (depending if You have the lead or not), it's basically been killed off by this rule.
I love 4th quarter heart attack games. They let you know you're alive. For the running start to a standing start is a total different subjectIt has an effect on kick returns because with no running start players are further away from the receiving player when He catches the ball and the receiving player may actually be encouraged to go for it, instead of accepting the touchback, but the covering players are still moving at the same speed that they would be with a running start and the energy they hit with is exactly the same whether they get a running start or not, so if the intention of the rule is to limit the number of kick returns it's not going to work.

Not at all. Just to be clear again for the millionth time, and you should know this, I only out those that are constantly almost always crapping on either a player, a coach or the organization. It’s like Whack a Troll. Once the usuals pop up with a negative take again, I whack em down. The OP doesn’t fit in this mode and I wasn’t being negative with him. Just wanted to know who cares about an offside penalty when the game is over. Although he could’ve made a post on something positive for the Cowboys. Regardless, and again because you seem to be told multiple times, I only Whack a Troll on the consistently negative posters.
Just call me “Whack a Troll Rockport”.
Players are up to full speed after 15 or 20 yards, I don't think they're any more or less composed. With a running start, they are obviously 5 or so yards closer to the returner, which actually discourages attempts to return the ball.I totally disagree.

The no running start rule has had the unfortunate (and probably unintended) effect of making expected onside kicks virtually impossible to recover for the kicking team, I find that a huge shame.I love 4th quarter heart attack games.

The ones like you who are calling me names make my day. Means I’m having an impact.I'm pretty sure that's not what you are being called.

No need really. We all know it was a legit call4 pages and no one posts the video??
LMAOThis thread................
He is moving, they changed the rule. If you are moving forward at all before the ball is kicked it is offsides.
Yes and you started it don’t forget.I don't call you names. Some of us don't resort to that. I mostly just ignore you because you add little to the conversation by just insulting those who are making comments. But I don't expect you to come to that realization. I thought I'd give it a try once, though, hoping maybe that you would see that what you do is uncalled for. I'm frankly surprised the moderators allow some of it.
Anyway, I'm stopping because we've gotten far away from what this thread is supposed to be about.
Well I dont know , madden used to say they should watch the ball.why do dlinemen jump offsides?
I tried to find the official rules but the page wont open on my browser.,Yep, you can't be moving forward before the ball is kick. Correct sir

I read they cant have a running start, but moving forward isnt running so would like to see the rules.
ok thanks for the actual rule, they should make this more available to fans, because it seems your the only one who knew or looked up the actual rule.I made a video AND posted the rule that pertained to this play:
