This is one of the most ridiculous things I've heard of the NFL considering in a long time. Why don't we put a red shirt on the QB so he can't be hit and make it flag football for the rest of the players?

Totally agree, it's like saying that if cars never exceed 20 mph roads are much safer.

its dumb they changing rules in basketball and football making it a girly sport lol

I am a Chicago Bears fan. You know my answer haha

lets just have the kicker and the returner only on the field, same for punts too...

If they keep passing stupid rules like this, I predict in 15 years the NFL will be a bocce ball league.

It's stupid ideas like this that make me think that Dana White might be right. If the rest of the sports keep cutting the genitals off of their game, UFC/MMA might be the biggest sport in the next 10-15 years.

nfl (national football league) = nffl (national flag football league). If this is past then we should impeach goodel, if we can.

Please NO and move the kickoff back..

thats the worst idea ever the nfl is gonna turn into cfl, except the c stands for crap

Roger Goodell is ruining the NFL. If this trend continues they will have no fans watching. Bring back Pete Rozelle!

Well in middle school we started at the 35 yard line no kick and I thought it was boring. Next year in freshman ball I became a wedge breaker and it was the most fun I ever had on the field lol some people enjoy special teams... Sadly seems like a large amount of the competition commitee and Goodell never got these great experiences. Also punting would be far more dangerous potentially.

The weird part to me is if they really wanted to stop concussions the big step would be to make mouthpieces a regulation of the uniform basically saying you have to wear one. That would lower concussions substantially. This id all from these old player lawsuits and owners trying to protect their big money investments. The even more funny thing is there have been plenty of injuries were the parure either was barely touched or not touched at all and blew acl's our achilles. To me they're ruining defense which advantage is to intimidate by fear and killing the will of the offensive player and his ability to septate the man from the ball. This will lead to more and more bloated offensive stats and confusion on these grey area rules that hurt the game on so many levels.

Seriously ridiculous, NFL without kickoffs?!

That's just cray..

WOW! Re dick u lus! This is nuts! I thought this was football! Hopefully the LFL comes back....so Ill have something to watch, other than Dana Whites great product!
