Re: Rules Changes for 2009

Should be interesting to see how ST coaches adjust.

Some ex-coach/insider on NFL radio a few weeks ago was talking about what ST coaches were going to do, and he said expect to see a lot of misdirection stuff on kickoffs. We'll see.

Yeah, I mean to me this is a hugely underreported story. They've outlawed the standard kick return strategy. Everyone uses the wedge. In addition to more mis-direction I guess you will see an emphasis on more disciplined spacing to create a "virtual wedge" where the blockers are legally spaced a couple of yards apart.

Well given that 99.9% of the sports media is discussing Brett Favre or Michael Vick, it is no surprise important things are not being discussed.

It was reported quite a bit back in March when the new rule came out, and some into April and May

Yeah I mean this is basically old news.

I remember when the news first broke they covered it quite extensively on NFLN.
