You realize "unsportsmanlike conduct" and "personal fouls" are not necessarily the same thing right?

Yes. That's why personally I was concerned with it being two personal fouls, as was stated in the OP.


Unsportsmanlike Conduct is different. I agree that a player should be ejected if they receive two of those in a game.

Yea. The article said unsportsmanlike, I typed personal, my bad.

They put taunting in that category. Maybe this solves a lot of the extracurricular activities that go on after the play instead of just getting back to the huddle.

Regarding to placing the ball on the 25 yard line after kickoff touch-backs, I agree with Sean Peyton, who was interviewed by Dan Patrick this morning. He thinks it will increase returns, because most returns are stopped inside the 25 yard line already. He revealed he will probably have his special teams focus on high, short kickoffs that land near the goal line and force a return.

 

Also, the few teams featuring a premier returner will still let them return nearly any kickoff landing in play.

As long as we're still playing 4 15 minute quarters, I'm good.

Burn the rule book and let them fight it out on the field.

I don't like the touchback rule. It really messes with the history of the game.


Your taking 5 yards rushing or passing.....and/or receiving away from a player over a 16 game season.


And yeah, it don't take a genius to figure out a loop hole and just don't kick it out of the endzone.


It becomes a coffin kick.

I disagree, but I do find the prospect of changing the touch back rule from the 20 yard line to 10 an interesting idea.  It would encourage teams to try to return more kicks.

Quote:I'd only be in favor of eliminating the penalty for intentional grounding IF all passes that land behind the line of scrimmage become fumbles.

Note- this would eliminate the "was his hand moving forward?" nonsense and the "tuck rule" and there would be less need for interpretation on replays.


Let the QB throw it wherever he wants, from wherever he is, with no fear of penalty. Just make him pay if he doesn't get the ball back to the line of scrimmage.


And make a ball tipped at the line, that lands behind the line, a fumble as well.

These are all simple and effective solutions. If you came up with these yourself, then you should have Goodell's job.

But they are trying to discourage the return because it's too dangerous. They aren't making sense.

Imo kickoffs are boring, always was.

How on earth is that a logical conclusion? "Most returns are already stopped inside the 25"... So unless your kicker has insane precision and can kick it on the 1 yard line every time, the players are going to be coached to kneel and gain the yardage they were more likely than not going to get anyway. This hurts the return game in terms of % of kickoffs that will be taken out of the endzone. If they are getting stopped behind the 25 anyway, the coaches are going to lean towards getting the free yardage @ the 25. That is the more logical conclusion.
