Goodell on possible rule changes

[3Rivers]

Roger Goodell opens up on letting the Chiefs play, possible rule*changes | Audibles - SI.com

One of the more prevalent talking points lately has centered on the dangers of kickoffs. Prior to the 2011 season, kickoffs were moved up to the 35-yard-line, drastically decreasing the number of returns attempted. If at least one NFL coach has his way, the league won’t stop there.

According to TIME, Goodell recently discussed with Rick McKay, Falcons president and head of the NFL’s competition committee, a radical rule change proposed by Tampa Bay coach Greg Schiano. Instead of a kickoff, the team that scored would then take the ball on its own 30-yard line in, essentially, a 4th-and-15 situation. In other words, they could attempt to keep their offense on the field and try to pick up 15 yards, at the risk of turning the ball over on downs; or they could punt.

“I don’t do things for public relations,” Goodell said. “I do things because they’re the right thing to do, because I love the game.”

Already in place for next season is a rule that will force all players to wear both thigh and knee pads. Many players have expressed frustration with that proposed thigh/knee pad mandate, arguing that the extra equipment would slow them down and, in turn, lead to a worse product on the field.

Ridiculous, kickoffs are important for field position, you can get severely injured on any play in football

need a hitman?

 

[Isaiah Bradley]

I'm cool with it

I don't mind the efforts to reduce the injuries and concussions

The league would be very irresponsible to the current and future players if they don't begin to adjust the sport to complement the scientific suggestion that some injuries and concussion related disorders are avoidable

"bu bu it's tradition, why they changing the sport" fakkit nikka, there was a time when these nikkas had no face mask, stop trying to live dangerously through other folks
