New NFL Kickoff Rule
I have watched far too much preseason football in the past week to be considered healthy. NFL Network has been replaying all the first week games on rotation. I don't watch full games but if I noticed a game I haven't seen yet is on, I will tune in for a bit.
My biggest takeaway from the week one of preseason is I really don't like this new kickoff rule. It seems far too gimmicky and the league already has enough offense and explosive plays. If they wanted less touchbacks why didn't they just have the ball come to the 30 (which is part of this rule change) on touchbacks.
Maybe it has to do with the fact that the 49ers, as great as they are, do not have a good Special Teams and I know they are going to find a way to get consistently torched on this play, but it looks silly and seems unnecessary to me.
What do stackers think? Do you like the new rule?
Sats for all,
GR
