New Rules for Kickoffs Coming? Bad for Cowboys?

14

With the proposed rule changes this potentially could be bad for the Dallas Cowboys. Why because our kickers strength was kick offs. Proposed Rule changes Kick off from 35yd instead of 30yd Touchback results to the ball on the 25 instead of 20 Kick Off teams have to be lined up in between the 30 and 35 yd line, no more huddle then run kicks No more WEDGE Side note this should stop all the Dez on Kickoff nonsense if it goes through. There will be no clear benefit to have him out there. I personally do not care either way if these rules go through. Its rather minor in this new passing league we have. At the same time it shows the NFL is trying to improve player safety without changing the game to flag football at the same time. It will still stay traditional football with the Kickoffs just that there is more incentive and chance for a player to not have to return it out of the endzone.
