SomebodytoAnybody47 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I really don't understand what a defender is supposed to do in this situation? Let him go and score? He's running from behind, trying to catch him and this is the only way to grab him in a last ditch effort. Pretty dumb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunnie Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Banning the hip drop tackle is really stupidMeh ...some of the tackles in question you can see the defender actually targeting the back of the legs. It's a heinous tackle that is impossible to officiate , but legit should be illegal.Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhg1084 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I’m sure refs will easily be able to decipher what is and isn’t a hip tackle and this won’t cause any controversies in deciding outcomes of games 😂😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 This is the players fault. They sued the nfl over concussions saying that the league didn’t tell them it was a dangerous sport and the league didn’t do enough to protect them from hurting each other 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the “unweight” language in the rule is spot on. This isn’t the rodeo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is going to make muck it up. This should give message boards around the world another thing to complain about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 If a kick doesn't reach the zone in the proposed rules, the ball would be placed at the 40-yard line. If it goes out of -- or is downed inside -- the end zone, the ball would go to the 35. And if it hits the zone, rolls into the end zone and is downed, it'd go to the 20. Any ball fielded in the zone, meanwhile, would have to be returned. so a kicker that can squib it into the zone that goes into the end zone but not out of the end zone is now a weapon. Blasting it into the 39th row puts the ball at the 35. I hope zuerlein has a good short game lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 High level stats: NFL kickoffs are 6% of plays and 18% of concussions. 60+% touchbacks. Average field position 28 yard line XFL kickoffs 0 injuries (I didn’t see if there were any this week) in all of testing and usage. Avg Field position is 31 yd line Onside Kicks: you elect to kick deep or to kick an onside kick (current iteration of the XFL has a 4th and 15 play) . It removes the surprise onside kick, which is an exciting play, but it’s only 1% of 1% or total kickoffs. Worthy sacrifice to make the kickoff safer Return touchdowns: in the 400+ kickoffs tested 2 were returned for TDs, both in Live games in 2020 XFL Kickoff Return TDs It’s very similar to a scrimmage play. As you can see from the video, it’s best when teams start to get creative and cross block, reverse, or do unique schemes. Coaches are slow to adjust and it gets better with more time with the rule book If there are any questions about the rule I can answer them, I spent 18 months developing the rule with extensive testing to make sure the play would work.
