[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 667106, member: 7261"] I highly doubt we will see an increase in something we rarely see on kickoffs, that being the fair catch. Think about it, the kicking team is still kicking from the 35, that hasn't changed since the 2012 season. So the kicking teams strategy most likely will not change. This change is designed to make the receiving team to be more inclined to down the ball in the end zone and take it on the 25, instead of risk bringing it out and being tackled short of the 25.

Before, it was a coin flip, and now it’s just not worth the risk."[/I] [URL]http://thebiglead.com/2016/03/23/the-math-on-how-new-nfl-kickoff-rule-will-affect-games/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
