NFL Rules Changes: On Side Kick rule retained, 3 IR Designations and More

[Boltjolt]

Good. Very glad the 4th and 15 thing did not go through. And pleased that the number of players who can return from IR has grown from zero to one to two and now to three.

Yes me too. Another whimpy rule change would be another step to make the game worse.

Why not have two players on kickoff that can be mobile or in motion? Certsinly overload the line a little but not insane and at the same time make kickoffs with onside kicks more daring and challenging. So maybe you have 4 guys on each side of the kicker and two behind that can decide which side of the field to overload. :2cents:

IMO its for player safety.
players in motion, would be use as blockers in the onside kick, and hard hits are what today's NFL is trying to avoid

the current on-side kick rules really prevent any recovery by the kicking team. I was actually for the 4th and 15 try if it woulda made the game a little more competitive...as it is now the onside kick is not competitive at all.but I ABSOLUTELY HATE the defenseless punt returner rule change even more than I hated the defenseless WR rule. You're not defenseless when you have the option to call for a fair catch. So does it mean coverage guys can hover right over the returner now? Cuz if they dont the returner will have a chance to get away before the coverage can tackle. as stated earlier this rule change is gonna have a profound impact on guys like child-beater hill...cant tackle him until he's had a chance to survey and make a move...SMH stupid rule!

Every year they make the game worse with rule changes. Wont be long that we will get tired of watching it. I get frustrated watching it now. Hate seeing flags every other play with bad calls on more than half of them.

They are discussing the possibility of a shorter pre-season. - https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-nflpa-d...ened-preseason

Finally something positive out of Covid. I remember when I had season tickets for years and I would always have to pony up regular price for 2 or 3 pre-season exhibitions.......

Jubei i moved this to the main forum. Its slow anyways. And this is a good topic.

Good move. I like having relevant, meaty threads in one place instead of having to search all over the place. It makes the forum more user-friendly IMO.
