Would be the same...except now all the players go back to the normal kickoff behind the ball etc. That's what Ham is saying. They have to announce the onside kick so everyone goes back...but now they can't fake an onside kick either. Just dumb.

April 18, 20241 yr Next rule will be that on the onside kick you have to point to the guy you are kicking it to! 🤷♂️

So often that key to extending hope for teams down multiple scores. Keeps it so you could possibly score 16 points in the last minute if the game even.

But if they go back to the usual onside kick you don't kick it 10 yards you kick it 45 and hope your guys get there first LOL. It's all open field back there

Just kick it ten yards...overload if you want, no announcement..etc. Those were great!

There is no rule that the receiving team needs to be all 10 yards off the ball. So it wouldn't work. No fakes that's the point.

April 18, 20241 yr Just now, cunninghamtheman said: Mayhem! Lol...yes!!! It's exactly what an onside kick should be.

Hoping we are getting out in front of being prepared for this new KO. Not sure what two returners we have for this though.

Not sure what two returners we have for this though. I think it's going to be all returns between the 20 and 30. It's going to be too crowded to create holes. Not much time either, and they can't use the momentum of the coverage guys against them. I think it's going to be a snoozefest.

April 18, 20241 yr Author https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/nfl-s-new-kickoff-rule-good-move-or-desperation-debate-with-ufl-kicker-matt-mccrane/ar-BB1lAZPB Complicated. So the ball HAS to land in the landing zone? No more touchbacks. I'm not really grasping this well
April 18, 20241 yr Returns can be exciting though. They had pretty much eliminated the KO return. This almost insures returns every time. I like it….I think. Should be much more interesting.
