    One rule I want changed NOW

    Kicking off at the 35 yd. line! move the ball back to the 25 and KO from there especially in our stadium.

    Fans want to see Kickoff returns not touchbacks!

    I agree it sucks. On the flipside, I am not confident in DeHaven as our ST coach.

    I can't believe I'm saying this but I agree with BB. Move the extra point further out or go for 2 pt conversion instead.

      Can't agree with this. Statistics show injuries happen often on KR. This is about safety and as much as dislike it, I cant say it needs to go away.

        Goodell may or not be evil , but I was under the assumption that the NFL rules committee was responsible for the change .
        For what it's worth, I don' like it either.
        They're hindering the chances for seeing some of the most exciting plays of the game.

          Pussified NFL. 14 padded practices for the entire regular season. No kick returns. Can barely touch the QB, no hitting a defenseless receiver. Starting to lose interest.

              The toyota people must be happy. less chance of having to give away a truck at the end of the season.

                What really needs to disappear is the new every touch down reviewed thing. It just slows the game down, and when a touch down is obvious, it just makes the refs look foolish. JMO

                  hummmm. I go back a bit further (per-1974 I believe), when the kickoff was at the 40. Because touchbacks had become increasingly common, it was moved back to the 35, and to the 30 in the earlier 90's. Those rule changes were to keep the excitement of the KR in the game. Alas, now to be an era gone by.....

                    I don't want to see another Kevin Everett...and you asked like an *******, so the answer is no.

                    He's the devil is disguise? Does he live at Heartbreak Hotel? Here I though he was nothing but a Hound Dog...must have been his Blue Suede Shoes.

                    That's some weak sauce.

                      Takes away from the explosiveness of the game and leaves ST play one dimensional and inept.

                      Teams need to start pooch kicking the ball.

                        I agree! They took away one of the most exciting plays in a football game and basically made it pointless. Most teams are just going to have their kicker kick the crap out of it, so it goes out of the end zone now. It really sucks!

                            Can't remember the last football game I watched where someone was injured on a kickoff.
