“Ha ha ha ha ha” this guys actual laugh 😂

[YankeeStacking]

It’s been changed from the 35 yard line to 30 yard line if it lands in the end zone.

[BQ-RI]

Kick-offs will no longer be reliable bathroom breaks. I was skeptical, but this sounds interesting.

[teto]

Nope. I'll stick with the CFL and real kickoffs.

[AacaL]

This will not take away from the Devin Hester's. In fact it would make Devin Hester's more dangerous

[sonnyjim]

What a stupid rule. The NFL should do what the Cdn Football League does. The kicking game is important and the rules protect the players. The NFL's new rule is ridiculous.

[jracer]

They need to go back to how it was when Devin Hester played

[FirstOdin]

The rule does make the kickoff a bit more exciting, but everyone can see where this is going. Most teams will just kick it to the endzone, rather than risk it.

[kyletaylor]

I think this format is really cool because now you can do backwards laterals and trick plays it’s going to be interesting

[scottdupont]

The pussification of footbal is disgusting all rules need to go back to the 80's amd 90's max salary for any player is 5 million, ticket prices need to go back to the 90's .

[helgashighway]

It's better than all the touchbacks. Super Bowl didn't have a single return. Boring.

[dorrinwinn]

This has been the best explanation and illustration I have seen. Other vids left me a little confused but this was a very good job. Thank you very much.

[Jean-PierreTardif]

NFL could have copied what’s happening in the CFL for this part of the game. It would have been simpler.

[TheBigOne]

I love the creativity of these blocking assignments by the return teams.

[robertstan]

i want more high speed impact, not less

[heyymannnnnnn]

Why wouldn't you just kick the ball out like before? Seems like 30 yard line is fine to concede considering all the things that could go wrong for the kicking team

[johnboehmer]

I still haven't heard anybody explain how onside kicks are going to work.

[eugenereed]

Could've just went back to the original kickoff.

[Elmero_mero]

Somebody tell the 49ers so they’ll know before the season starts
