Everything else about kickoffs remains the same.Remember those Nate Kaeding kicks that landed on the 8 yard line before? They're landing on the 3 yard line now, and the coverage unit will be 5 yards further downfield. Kickoffs will now take place on the 35 yard line instead of the 30.Here's a run-down of the rule-changes heading into (hopefully) the 2011 NFL season, as approved by the owners and for the safety of the players:
Because, as we all know, before 1994 football was played exclusively by children in tutu's who didn't "tackle" each other as much as they gave emphatic hugs. Today, the NFL indeed "wussified" the sport of football (according to that caller) by changing the kickoff rules back to the way they were before 1994. Instead he danced around the subject, finally settling on the stance of "It's up to the owners", before trying to sell me on sticking around through the commercials to listen to more. He was in the middle of taking a call from an outraged NFL fan who thought that "the new kickoff rule is just one more giant step towards the wussification of football." Did Hacksaw take the time to correct the caller and inform him that "wussification" is, in fact, not a real word? He did not.
