I can see a lot of false starts being called before the returner catches the ball

yes for another team!!

very good.glad we have a good return guy atleast. but we need one more return guy.we also have a great kicker who can hit it high and try to land it in the "landing zone" but obviously needs more practice.no team wants to give the opposing team a touchback as it will mean they start at the 35 yard line.I also think it will reduce injuries as there is no head start for the covering team.

How are you going to onside kicks

Yeah he’s pretty much guaranteed a roster spot with this new rule.

It's very exciting rule change.

More dynamic returns with an emphasis on kickers who can placed the ball hit with a lot of end over end rotation to make the ball tough to catch.

Also shifty returners who get up to speed fast will be coveted. 3 - cone here we come.

I suspect a 30% increase in KO TDs.

I'm assuming they don't care about the on side kick, maybe it's too dangerous or nobody thought about it lol


IDEA: If the kicker can get it from where he is into the field goal post, it's an automatic touchdown lol

Why will this kill the on side kick? It just makes it much much muuuuuch harder to execute!

I wonder if they will have an option for this? Offer teams two kickoff formats. Regular return or onside kick.

Teams need a chance to win games in the dying seconds of the game.

Way to kill the onside kick.

The onside kick was pretty much dead already. Ever since they eliminated the running starts on kickoffs it’s been an almost dead play.

I’d love to see another system to replace the current inside kick rule.

The only thing I’ll truly miss is the surprise onside kicks that you see maybe once a year.
