So with a new season starting...

[nycbos]

... what are your thoughts on the new kickoff rule?

[genxlib]

1. I think it is a definite improvement

It seems weird at first but will seem normal very quickly.

It actually turns it into a real play instead of the near automatic touchback that it had become.

2. I know there's a new rule to encourage runbacks, I don't know what the rule is.

But, I think the game is more exciting with kickoffs being run back.

3. I think kicking teams are going to be happy to let

Receiving team start at the 30 yard line. It’s only five yards from last year and the return rule will allow runs to that and probably more. If the NFL wants returns touchbacks will need to get placed at the forty or forty five to make a return worth the risk for the kicking team.

4. I hate it!!

5. It's more boring than the one it replaced

But safer

6. The

players seem to be getting used to it, so I am okay with it.
