Quote:I don't understand why they are moving touchbacks to the 25. This does more to encourage the kicking team to try to kick it high and short, setting up a return and a tackle inside the 25. Before, most kickoffs ended in touchbacks and no players collided. But if you discourage the kicking team from giving a touchback, inevitably that means more collisions, right?

What am I missing?

I forget who it was, but one coach already came out and said that is what he anticipated happening. No way would a team kick it in the end zone when they can kick it short and stop them at the 20. Unless they coach the players to let it hit the ground and bounce into the enzone. But that can backfire on them as well.
