Money. Simple as that.

This should be a win-win...

[quote]I like the new rules. Will allow for no fair catches unless it goes to the end zone. Unless I missed something regarding the end zone. Most good kickers can get to the end zone.[/quote]

Not really all of a sudden… they have been harping on player safety for years now.
Also… “ONOZ, change!”
I think this is going to make returns more common and more interesting.
Imagine running a trap block against the kicking team’s formation and getting a...

One year only, anticipating tweaks to the rule as they go.
