I always liked those sneaky onside kicks.

 

[jwitten82]

I hate that part

 

[big dog cowboy]

I hate all 3 of those rules. They all take away from the game. Especially announcing the intention to kick an on side kick.

 

[Bagman]

Pretty soon the defense is going to have to announce their intention to blitz. You wouldn't want to hurt the other teams feelings.

What or whom did these new rules benefit?

Perhaps coaches that didn't prep their team how to react to surprise onsides kicks?

More NFL rules committee nonsense

Cut down on injuries..players are expensive. Don't like the rules, but I get it.

Most of the guys on kick teams aren't that expensive.

Why not just replace the Official ball with a Nerf? Then I would have a chance to QB our team

Sean Peyton hates these rules.

Ok...whatever you say....lol.

 

[Flamma]

This is embarrassing. They won't admit they ruined the kickoff and just put it back to what it once was. The fix is that simple.

 

[Flamma]

You can tell the rules committee is really lacking in people that actually played football. It's pretty clear to anyone. They make the dumbest adjustments and the dumbest rules.

 

[maryquality]

Boo!!! Terrible new rules!! Just get rid of kickoffs altogether then....geesh!!

 

[Jfconrow]

Why do they have to do what the XFL does. Just keep the kickoff the way it used to be.

Yup, and no more disguising coverages. It's not fair to try and fool people lol

 

[DeaconMoss]

Can you tell the team you intend to kick it onside but then kick it in the end zone?

 

[jazzcat22]

No element of surprise anymore. What stupid rule changes will they do next.

 

[Praxit]

...well, those dont really happen until situations are met. Nothing new here.

Other than, "letting other team know ahead of time". Is the big one.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

That’s stupid why would they take out the element of surprise?
