Unless it's kicked out of the back of the end-zone.

Re: Off-season NON CBA things
 

I don't like the 25 yard line on touchbacks. Defenses are already under a lot of pressure and this will only make it worse.

Re: Off-season NON CBA things
 

Anyone know anything about the "wide 9" defense? Philly is going to be using it this year.

Apparently Haynesworth would be good for it, but I don't want to send him to Philly.

Totally agree, leave it alone!!

[quote=CRedskinsRule;789297]The competition committee is meeting today, and here are a few interesting tweets:

Albert Breer
Competition Committee proposing all scoring plays be reviewed automatically by replay assistant. Moving closer to college system.

[B]Here's a big one: Competition Committee chair Rich McKay says proposal moving touchback LOS from the 20 to the 25 on the table.[/B]

NFL EVP of Football Ops Ray Anderson says league will be aggressive defending "defenseless players", says suspensions are in play.

Interesting options, I think I like the automatic replay on scoring plays.

But, starting at the 25, don't give the offense any more yards for free.[/quote]

Horrible proposal and I hope it's get shot down. Can't these guys just leave the damn game alone? Moving it back to the 35 simply hurts teams with top return guys, plus it's hurts their value

Re: Off-season NON CBA things
 

You know, kickoffs used to be from the 40 yard line! And then they were from the 35 during most of the 70s, 80s, and mid 90s.

Re: Off-season NON CBA things
 

^^^^I never knew that. I dont care where they kick the ball from this year as long as they are kicking it off.

Re: Off-season NON CBA things
 

Stop with the facts SS! Change is bad! Change is bad!

So close. All I needed was 20 extra blocks.

So yeah, I need you to start returning punts.

Wow so basically BB may be useless in Kick Coverage anymore! FML

Re: Off-season NON CBA things
 

Like I said in the other thread, Brian Mitchell made his living off of return kick-offs from the 35 yard line in his first few years of his career. I'm not sure why anybody would whine about this?
