Scout200 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Today, the NFL chose to move the kickoff to the 35-yard line as opposed to the 30-yard line... how do you think this will effect the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Ray Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 It should help the Bengals since we can't seem to find kickers who can kick off 70 yards and our special teams aren't the best either. I think it hurts a team like Cleveland with Josh Cribs a lot more. Basically they're just going back to 1993 rules. Sometimes I think the owners feel like these meetings are wasted if they can't fiddle with a rule here and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I think it's trying to fix something that "ain't broke" so to speak.I see absolutely zero reason this needed to happen.Oh well, I guess they have to justify that big meeting somehow huh ?

IMO I think they're trying to make it "safer" where they can statistically prove fewer injuries prior to the leveraging to go to 18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 They can claim "safety" all they want, but I can't envision where moving the kickoff 5 freakin' yards will have ANY impact on it.They would need to justify MUCH more.
