What the fuck is this shit? I hope it's not exactly like this because this looks terrible. I can get the change with the Hip Tackle Rule put in because it will help alot of Defensive Players figure out how to freaking Tackle but why put this in at all?

I know eliminating the kickoff eliminates a lot of jobs but at this point, just give the receiving team the ball at the 25 automatically

Because kick offs are concussion machines and account for a majority of player head injuries.

It worked in the XFL and while it might not work exactly the way it did, it led to less injuries overall. Who cares how it looks as long as it leads to less injuries?

Sure let’s eliminate kickoffs in the name of player safety

- But let’s also reduce practice time so offensive line play suffers
- Add a 17th regular season game (18 soon enough) and 2 more games to wild card weekend
- Make players play on Thursday with only 4 days rest
- And make the Giants and Jets play on turf, where non contact injuries are 20% more likely

But sure let’s just eliminate kick and punt returns. Because that will solve everything.

No one ever said the NFL execs were consistent, thats for sure.

Yeah after seeing the general reaction to this online idk why they don't just rip the bandaid off now and end them entirely, no kickoff type possession to exchange who's on offense at all.

When something seems so inevitable to everyone idk why they insist on placating people to attempt to appease everyone
