Huge changes coming to the NFL kickoff: Owners have voted to go with a new format for kicks, per sources. I explain what that means for the kickoff here… it’s going to look VERY different.
@JeffDarlington @Buccigross So they want the same guy thats been blasting 60+ yard field goals and kickoffs their whole career to all of a sudden find the skill to duck fart kicks off of a tee to inside the 20? I feel like the constant change in habit/motion could cause more injuries to the kickers.
@JeffDarlington Why #UFL Isn’t Using #XFL Kickoff youtube.com/shorts/ZpwYGdq…
@JeffDarlington So, all previous return stats will have an asterisk because it was a different format?
@JeffDarlington What happens if there’s a fumble? The returner essentially should recover the ball every time. Right?
@JeffDarlington Wouldn’t this be a disadvantage for the receiving team? How can they know when the returner touches it without having to turn around??? Won’t that be giving the kicking team the advantage ?
@JeffDarlington @FieldYates Are you a fan of this change?
@JeffDarlington So kickers are incentivized to kick it in the target zone, not the end zone.
