Re: Belichick Would Like To See The Extra Point Eliminated
I think they have to allow punt returners the option to fair catch, they would get blasted but i suppose instead of fair catching the ball they could just let it go and the punting team would be rewarded some more yards unless it does a crazy bounce.
Im still waiting for teams to figure out how to work the shortened kickoffs to their advantage instead of just booming it into the endzone for a touchback.
with the shorter kickoffs it should allow the kicker to send a high kickoff landing around the 2 yard line so his coverage team has more time to get down there and tackle the returner before the 20. But they also changed the rule to were the coverage team has to be within 5 yards of the ball at kickoff to prevent guys from getting a 20 yard head of steam like before . . . but i could def see a ST coach try and use the shortened kickoffs to his advantage instead of just taking the seemingly automatic touchback. get creative
