[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1039343, member: 10086"] That’s true we will know more once the stats come in. Some of the unknowns will be what will be the average Kickoff return yards THIS year. 25 yard returns were a pretty good mark until now. However the Coverage team is further up but also must wait until the ball makes contact to pursue. [B]All kicking team players other than the kicker will line up with one foot on the receiving team’s B40 yard line[/B] Still though, these rules do NOT change the fact that a ball which lands inside the 5 rarely does not make the Paint unless it’s caught. If it doesn’t get returned Or Rolls onto the Paint? they lose 5 full yards this year. Starts at the 20 instead of last years 25. -5 yards per Kick adds up real quick. If we boot it into paint it’s automatic 30 yard line or +5 off last season. I’d have my Kicker ideally aim between the 0-5 unless it’s one of the top KR in the league. If it’s anywhere near the paint but outside it?? The KR has to know he’s about to lose potentially -10 yards as compared to Paint. When they catch it they lose .5 seconds securing it and often taking a step backwards. I’d want my opponent contemplating that and the Kickoff hitting the 1-3 yard line. Thats a nightmare decision to make to catch it at the 1 because 1” is now a critical 10 yard swing. Might as well be a -10 penalty if it’s not caught immediately. The other aspect is because of new Kickoff positioning, the coverage unit will be confronting the returner just inside 20 and it won’t be just a Gunner. It’s potentially 10 guys standing around because they came out of the sprint blocks like Bosa. I’d have my guys line up like a track meet at the opponent 40 and have a Verbal Signal to Shoot out like it’s the Combine 40 cannonball [/QUOTE]
