Re: College Football
Moving the touchback to the 25 is dumb. Why are they trying to kill the kickoff?

Re: College Football
It appears they want to encourage teams kicking off to keep the ball in play.
The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.

Re: College Football
Those blind side hits should be fun when they are chasing after squib kickoffs.

Re: College Football
They want to encourage more touchbacks. But, what they are going to get it more short kickoffs, more collisions, and more concussions. The law of unintended consequences is going to be rough on this one. They will eventually get rid of the kickoff entirely.Bklyn wrote:It appears they want to encourage teams kicking off to keep the ball in play.

Re: College Football
Granted, I did not read anything about the rule besides what was typed here. What is the rationale to have the touchback spotted to the 25 as opposed to the 20 and expect that it it wouldn't incentivize the kicking team to avoid the touchback?

Re: College Football
I guarantee all the thought was abou the return team incentives. Kicks are going deeper into the end zone so the thought is that a touchback on the 25 will encourage returners to kneel on the ball. I doubt they gave much thought to the way the kicking team would react to this. Kickoffs lead to lots of concussions so the nfl wants fewer returns. They might get more now.

Re: College Football
there were kickers who got 90% of the kickoffs into the endzone--maybe if they line up at the 30 and any kick out of the endzone was brought out to the 40 and any kick down in the endzone was started at the 10. in other ward basically an onside kick every kickoff probably fuck up the game more then ever but who give a shit about the kickoff now when 80% are downed

Re: College Football
Mcafee was on our local talk show yesterday and he explained it like this.
So if he kicks the ball 5 yds deep in the endzone for the returner to break even, he has to get 25 on the return. With the new rule, it would have to be 30 on the return. With that being said, he does not think it is going to change strategy for teams on how they return and the percentage from scoring starting at the 20 is 31%. Starting at the 25 is 32%.
He said he understood what they were trying to do but he felt it won't have a huge impact either way, Teams will still go by their coaching style and strategy for this.

Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.

Re: College Football
this won't be talked about for the next 2 weeks.....................
It was announced Wednesday that the Los Angeles Rams would be the team featured on "Hard Knocks" this season. But one report suggests the franchise made a deal with the league to avoid being the team featured on the show in 2014.
Longtime NFL reporter Howard Balzer, in a report for 590 The Fan in St. Louis, writes that the NFL allowed the Rams -- then based in St Louis -- to avoid the HBO series because they agreed to draft Michael Sam.
Sam, of course, announced he was gay prior to the 2014 draft, creating a flurry of speculation about if/when he would be drafted. As the reigning SEC Co-Defensive Player of the Year, Sam was considered a late-round talent. Balzer reports the NFL didn't want Sam to go undrafted, so it made a deal with the Rams, who selected him in the seventh round (249th overall). The Rams were just 90 miles down the road from the University of Missouri, where Sam played in college.

I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

Dan Patrick got ahold of Fisher this morning. Didn't hear it though. I was shaving my balls on the back porch.

The cool breeze on the back porch feels good after the post-shave slathering of Gold Bond. Feel the tingle...

Re: College Football
The back porch is 501 feet from a elementary school is my best guess.

Re: College Football
Rat,
have you been keeping up with that car that drove off the bridge and plunged into the river.
They are finally getting it out tomorrow.
