I think they believe that with the new setup, kickoff returns will result in fewer injuries. The days of players sprinting downfield 40 yards and colliding are over.
And they're tired of kickers blasting it through the end zone (64% of kickoffs resulted in touchbacks last year), depriving games of the potential for exciting plays.

They want more returns.  That was the point of changing the kick off to begin with. Theoretically there are less full speed hits between the tacklers and blockers, which is where most of the injuries occurred.

Quote from: The Sultan on April 03, 2025, 11:01:28 AMI think NFL ties are fine actually?

I don't know I have a problem with them. My thoughts might change if you have a team with 2 or 3 in a year (I still think it's exceedingly unlikely). The strategy around who receives the kickoff will be interesting because of that time constraint

This will really test the limits of how much leverage an NFL team can have over a city. Because if a sad-sack franchise like the Bengals can pull it off...

The county paid for basically all of it in the late 90's.

Right. I just get the impression that things may have changed in the meantime...perhaps not.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini thinks the NFL will ban the tush push.

Roger Goodell does not like the play. He thinks it's ugly. He doesn't think it's a football play. ... The fact that this was tabled (at the league meeting) tells me that they're going to ban the tush push. ... They're gonna find a way to get it out of football. ... Some (owners) want to be in line with Roger Goodell. I think some believe it's an ugly play. And I think, whether or not they'll admit it, if you can't beat it, ban it.

The number of times he had to watch his Jets QB run into the ass of his lineman would make me want to ban the play too
