Ok, nobody moves until a returner touches the ball or the ball hits the ground. Eliminates the running starts and reduces high speed collisions. Should give the returner some space to start the return.
I'll be interested to see how the coaches set up blocking and coverage. Is player selection for special teams going to be changing in any significant way? What are the penalties for players that move early?
I went to the linked article thinking "oh god, what are they doing now." to being in the "encouraging returns" camp, while "reducing the chance of injuries".
Of course if it passes and I see it in action I may hate it.
