It's 10 to 15. The

0:52

lifestyle you want, the remedies you need.

0:55

Does anybody care if

0:57

there's kickoffs anymore? The

0:59

NFL is, I can't

1:02

brag enough about the NFL. Unlike

1:04

most organizations, most

1:07

of our organizations don't pivot well. We're

1:09

always behind. We're a little clunky,

1:13

not the NFL. What's amazing about

1:15

the NFL is it's run by

1:17

a bunch of old billionaires, but

1:20

they, I tell you, they

1:22

are willing to adapt. They are so

1:24

concerned about the product. They

1:27

are like Steve Jobs would always say, just get lost

1:29

in the product. The rest will take care of itself.

1:31

Most of us want to live that way. We want

1:33

to work at places that are that way, but it's

1:35

rarely that way. We're all

1:37

pretty clunky and stuck, not

1:40

the NFL. Man, they will they

1:44

will experiment and pivot quickly.

1:48

I just don't know. First of all, I don't think

1:50

any of you, do you really care? Let me put

1:52

it in the form of a question. Do any of

1:54

you really care if anybody returns a kickoff again? Seriously.

1:59

Do you care? I bet

2:01

not. If they just set

2:03

the ball at the 30 and

2:06

blew the whistle and say, play now, would

2:08

that be good enough for you? And

2:10

I'll bet you 95% of you

2:12

would say, sure, whatever, let's get going. But

2:17

they are working this kickoff angle to

2:19

the point that it is ridiculous or

2:22

no kickoff angle to the point

2:24

that it's ridiculous. It's way

2:27

too complicated now. I

2:29

did offer a solution, but I thought it was pretty cool.

2:31

I'll do it again. So

2:34

here's what the NFL now wants to do.

2:36

Now the reason behind this is, is the

2:38

NFL as an entity, as

2:40

an ownership group concerned about concussions?

2:44

Not really. Do

2:46

they want the players to be injured

2:48

on kickoffs? Definitely

2:51

not. So yeah, I mean

2:54

a kickoff is, it's a car wreck. It's

2:57

a really fast car wreck. And

3:00

I can tell you from experience, when

3:03

those guys head down the field and they run

3:05

into each other, it's hard to believe there's not

3:08

a concussion every kick. At

3:11

worst, it's every three kicks.

3:13

There's a couple of concussions. So

3:15

yeah, yeah, it's not a safe thing to do. And

3:18

I don't think the public really misses it by and

3:20

large. To throw the Players Association

3:22

a bone, they said, you know, we're going to

3:24

tinker with kickoffs because we don't want you star

3:26

players having to run down the field, get knocked

3:28

out. Okay. So here

3:31

we go. What solution would make sense to

3:33

you to either

3:36

keep kickoffs in some form, be

3:39

creative, think of something, or do

3:41

away with kickoffs altogether, which I've started

3:43

saying about nine years ago. Here's

3:47

what the NFL is looking at now, and they're going to do it.

3:51

And it may take 15 minutes to figure

3:53

this out. I can't

3:55

imagine the average person sitting around to

3:57

watch an NFL game betting on it,

3:59

fan to see playing public going,

4:01

what's going on? What is this

4:03

now? What happens? The ball

4:06

lands there, goes over there. That dude can run

4:08

it back, not run it back. This

4:12

is not one of the, in my opinion, this

4:14

is not one of the better ideas the forward-thinking

4:16

NFL has had. All

4:18

right. Well, here we go. Changes to

4:20

the kickoff were proposed by special teams,

4:23

coaches working in groups. It

4:25

follows the XFL's model and will present

4:28

a major shift for the league. If

4:30

approved, according to Yahoo Sports, by

4:33

at least 25 team owners, the

4:35

change would last for a year. Under

4:39

the proposal, fair catches would no

4:41

longer be allowed and touchbacks

4:43

would be marked at the 35-yard line. Kickers

4:48

will start from the opposite 35. The

4:52

other 10 players would go to

4:54

the receiving teams 40-yard line. So

4:57

they are 15 yards in front

4:59

of the ball, in front of the kicker. A

5:04

minimum of nine players from the

5:06

returning team would be required to

5:08

go to a set-up zone located

5:11

between the 30 and 35-yard line. Oh

5:16

my gosh. So they are, I guess

5:19

they're 10 yards away from each other. If

5:22

I understand this correctly, they have to wait for

5:24

the ball to go over their heads before

5:26

they start moving. Theory

5:29

here is obviously the guys

5:31

running to cover are not

5:33

getting a long run at the blockers

5:36

and at the kick returner. Okay?

5:40

Okay. I think this is just a, I think

5:42

this is a dumpster fire. Okay.

5:46

So the set-up zone,

5:48

a maximum of two returners would

5:51

line up at designated landing zones.

5:54

Like there's going to be a target on the field or something. That's

5:56

between the goal line and the 20. All

5:59

Right. These do dude down there between

6:01

the zoo them go on the twenty. right?

6:05

I'm going to tell you right now. I'm.

6:08

This is gonna take some tinkering of. These guys

6:10

are smart special teams coach as know what they're

6:12

doing, but there's not a whole lot of space

6:15

between players. A ball's gonna land

6:17

and some of these back amp doing as much as

6:19

I can these days lower my golf scores and I'm

6:21

working at at lot of you can relate. And.

6:23

roads. I'm just telling you now. He's

11:23

going to be standing there going, where is it? Where is

11:25

it? So the

11:27

return guys are going to be at the goal line to

11:29

the 20. Only

11:32

the kicker and returners would be allowed

11:34

to move before the ball

11:36

touches the ground or

11:38

a player inside the landing zone.

11:42

Oh boy. You're

11:45

going to have, you know what it's going to be? Remember

11:47

in the little league, if there was a

11:49

pop fly, everyone would yell and nobody would get

11:51

it? I got it. I

11:54

got it. I got it. What

11:57

returners just to bore you for just a second.

12:00

Historically, where returners are supposed to say, if

12:02

you have two returners, they

12:05

say, you, you, you. One of the

12:07

guys makes the call. Or he says, me, me,

12:09

me. Well, this ball is going to

12:11

be hanging up in the air. And

12:13

teams are going to do this on purpose. It's going

12:15

to be hanging up in the air into this

12:17

landing zone where there's going to be

12:21

nine people,

12:25

seven of whom are supposed to be stationary and getting ready

12:27

to block. And that ball is going to land on their

12:29

head. Now, did they catch it? Or

12:32

do they wait for the return guy to come get it? And

12:34

the return guy is going to catch it in the middle of

12:37

a bunch of dudes. This

12:39

is way too hard. It's way too hard.

12:43

All right. Officials would need to be alerted before an

12:45

on-side kick could be attempted, which rules out the idea

12:47

of surprising an opponent. So the idea of a, of

12:50

just on-side kicking out of the blue, because if you're

12:52

thinking, well, gosh, Jeff, if they're 15 yards away, why

12:54

don't I tell my kicker to knock at 10 yards

12:56

and run and get it? Well,

12:59

you can't do that. You have to tell them

13:01

you're going to execute an on-side kick, then that

13:03

would take the traditional form of a total train

13:05

wreck and everybody gets hurt on

13:07

on-side kicks. You just get blasted. What's

13:13

the point? There's no way

13:16

any of you care enough to do this. There's just

13:18

no way. I

13:20

know special teams coaches want their

13:22

jobs. Somebody wants to

13:24

be a kick returner and have a job. I mean,

13:26

there's guys with real jobs on the line here that

13:28

are fighting for this. So

13:31

I just. I

13:35

don't know if you can fair catch or not. It doesn't

13:37

sound like you can. So

13:40

if, if I'm a

13:42

returner and I'm in the

13:44

landing zone and I got

13:46

blockers five yards in front of the landing

13:48

zone and the ball, if I'm,

13:50

if there's guys who can kick in that league can

13:52

do this, they're going to try to hit a high,

13:54

high ball. It's going to look like a

13:56

pitching wedge and they're going to try to drop it on

13:59

about the 20 yard line. Get

14:01

four to five second hang time and drop that ball

14:03

on the 20 yard line because there's

14:05

going to be mass chaos because it's going to be

14:07

a pop fly straight out of Little League baseball. What

14:11

are you going to do? Is number 57 going to catch it?

14:16

He'll try or it'll hit him in the back. Does

14:20

anyone really care if we just put the ball at the

14:22

35 and start it? Seriously,

14:25

just put it to 35 and start. Is

14:28

the viewing public really going to care that much? My

14:32

idea, if you are

14:34

dead set on keeping the value

14:36

of kicking, the special

14:39

teams coaches want

14:41

because they tinker with returns and they spend a lot of

14:43

time on that stuff, they don't want to lose that. It's

14:46

part of their pay, it's part of their job description, they don't want to

14:48

lose that. I know that. I've known plenty of good

14:50

ones. They work like

14:52

crazy and design some pretty interesting schemes. The

14:56

kickoff has been rendered obsolete already.

14:59

Nobody stops and says, wait, let me see

15:02

the kickoff go through the end zone real

15:04

quick. Nobody. If

15:06

you want to make it matter and

15:09

I think you want to get rid of kickoffs and

15:11

you need to get rid of kickoffs because it's dangerous, I

15:15

told you what to do. It sounds goofy

15:17

but it's kind of interesting. Put

15:20

the ball at the 35 or if you want to put it to 40, put it to

15:22

40. Tiger

15:24

goes out there, can take as many steps back as he

15:26

wants. He hits it through

15:28

the uprights, the ball goes to the 20. He

15:32

doesn't hit it through the uprights, misses left,

15:34

right, short, whatever. No, you can't return

15:36

it. It's not going to be a one-on-one game in 100 yards. Hold

15:41

on, that'd be kind of funny. If

15:44

he doesn't knock it through the uprights, he's short or misses

15:46

either way, the ball goes to the 35. There's

15:50

some value. It's a 15-yard miss

15:53

or you want to make it a 20-yard miss. If you

15:55

want some drama, you want people to care,

15:57

you want field position to matter, but be

16:00

safe if that's really what you want.

16:02

That's a better idea than some bizarre

16:04

setup where there's a landing zone and

16:06

nine people are standing there. That's

16:10

just dumb. I

16:12

mean what's gonna happen is they're all just

16:14

gonna end up in a big, it's gonna

16:16

look like pee-wee football, where it's just a

16:18

big pile of kids. That's what's gonna happen

16:20

at the 25-yard line. They're

16:23

all gonna run into each other at a slow

16:25

pace, knock each other into,

16:27

there's no room to return it. They're gonna

16:29

knock each other in the returner and then he's gonna catch

16:31

it right in front of them so he has no momentum.

16:33

It's just gonna be a scrum at the 25. Probably 30%

16:39

of the time some dude

16:41

that's number 50 to 75 is

16:44

gonna let it bounce off his back.
