If the Chiefs D is a good as last year. Who cares about 5 yards against a poor offensive team. Just kick the ball into the endzone.

Superficially it looks a little goofy. However, if it brings some excitement back to the kicking game, I think I’m all for it. The endless touchbacks were pretty boring.

If they think the play is boring why not just place the ball on the 25. Also gets rid of the inside kick gimmick.

But they’re trying to balance safety with a more exciting product. Yes, your solution would produce more returns, but overall safety would decline given a reduction in touchbacks. They’re basically trying to keep safety constant while making the return game more interesting.

I think it’s a pretty solid solution to the “problem.” And if some team starts putting their version of Tyreek back there and getting ridiculous results, you just kick it through the back of the end zone like the old days and give them it on the 30 (or 35 in the future).

Looks like it’s very complicated rules but it’s pretty easy to understand. If you watched any of the USFL its based on that kick off.

Reid will be doing kickoffs. I'd bet money on it. We only have 1 kicker. He hasnt made a tackle in maybe never. You cant lose him when you already have another player that can kickoff. We need Harrison Butker uninjured for the field goals. He is such a weapon.

First I've heard that it was official. I looked 3 pages back and no thread.

Reid won't be making kickoffs :-)

The potential good news could be that our new rugby kid might make some badass plays as our kickoff returner. He certainly isn't afraid of close contact collisions and has the speed to pull away from the scrum.

Veach, man. Always thinking three moves ahead.

The dude is fast. Thats the #1 skill needed for a kick returner. :-)

pretty sure the graphic is wrong too, and you get it at the 30 for a touchback

They should absolutely have him do this. This kick does not require an NFL place kicker. You don't even need Justin Reid to do it. It's actually a good bet if you had open tryouts you'd probably find a few random defenders who are just as good if not better at it than Butker.
