Title: Roger Goodell Hints that the NFL Could Eliminate Kickoffs Post by: Marshal Dillon on September 14, 2016, 08:13:17 PM Do you all think this will happen? If it does, how long before the colleges ban kickoffs? Could punts be banned later down the road, too? Just wondering.
Quote In the NFL's continued pursuit to make the game safer, commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday that the league hasn't ruled out doing away with kickoffs completely. Last season, the league moved kickoffs to the 25-yard line, which has increased touchbacks in an effort to limit injuries. But Goodell says the NFL might want to take it a step further. http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/roger-goodell-hints-that-the-nfl-could-eliminate-kickoffs-for-safety-reasons/ar-BBwaftA?li=BBnb7Kz :dunno: Title: Re: Roger Goodell Hints that the NFL Could Eliminate Kickoffs Post by: McBaman on September 15, 2016, 02:50:05 PM Clemson would probably vote FOR this rule change.
Why don't they just change to 2-hand touch on kickoffs? That would eliminate tackling and most injuries. Title: Re: Roger Goodell Hints that the NFL Could Eliminate Kickoffs Post by: Old Tider on September 15, 2016, 03:48:12 PM This would eliminate one of the most exciting plays in the game.

I was thinking the same thing but apparently a lot of injuries occur on kickoffs. The 2 hand touch has some possibilities.

The NFL's increasing politicization and participation in the culture wars using their economic might to interfere with the will of citizens in multiple states has really turned me off.
