This change has been implemented in the college ranks since 2018 and nobody cares, it hasn't impacted the product a lick. Oh no, how can the very concept of masculinity itself deal with an average 0.5 return less per game (that's how much this rule has decreased returns in college). Let's get a grip.anybody that thinks this is a good thing for NFL football is BLIND to the trend set by Goodell the last decade to mutate our once great game, a game played by PHYSICAL MEN, men with tremendous skills on both sides of the ball. You people just don't see it coming...within a few seasons there will be a LBGTQ+ all woman/trans referee crew that will work an NFL game ...and stop it at haltime because they find the "heirarchy!!!" abhorrent to their fragile social justice warrior sensibilities...and Goodell will respond by declaring the league co-ed.
Rat stench is the default state of the league these days.This is disappointing after the Patriots drafted heavily for special teams. Do I smell a rat?
What's going to stop teams from squib kicking on every kickoff to force teams to field it? Dumb.
snowflake? you actuality AGREE with all these changes made the past decade that have NEUTERED half the rosters (defense) in the league? SNOWFLAKE????Only a REAL SNOWFLAKE goes along blindly with every incision into the structure of this league like a loyal little lap dog. You must have daughters or granddaughters and your dream is to see them play in the NFL when it finally goes all flag. Snowflake...what the fck kind of goddamned statementr is that?************, talk about being a snowflake.

But it takes out an element of strategy of trying to kick it to the 5 or 10 and seeing if you can pin them deep. If your returner is weak, you'd get penalized instead of bailed out with fair catches.Bingo. It's not much more than an equalizer. So yes, if you have guys that can catch the ball... pretty low bar... you get the 25 for free. If you put on your big boy pants and get an actual returner, ta da, you play some odds in terms of fair catching, but if he sees a lane you still trust his vision.
Yeah. And nobody likes it. But the end of the world it ain't.But it takes out an element of strategy of trying to kick it to the 5 or 10 and seeing if you can pin them deep. If your returner is weak, you'd get penalized instead of bailed out with fair catches.
haha, exactly. It's a conspiracy!Yeah. And nobody likes it. But the end of the world it ain't.
Here's my theory. They're out to get us. The MOMENT we invest draft capital in a kicker...
You have it backwards. We have the advantage in our coverage units, and the willingness to coach the various placement and height of kickoffs.And why did the Pats oppose it? Do we think we have an advantage with our returners?
How's that hindsight? Still 20/20?and yet Bill the GM still emphasizing kick and punt coverage and lusting after gunners
This is all a ploy to devalue Special Teams, so they don't have to give a valid explanation why they won't enshrine Matthew Slater in the HoF after he retires

Huh... Siding with Herr Goodell... Never thought I'd see the day...I have the valid explanation already: He doesn’t deserve it.
