IIRC, the Rules Committee recommended adopting the rule with the proviso... if the ball is kicked into the endzone, the touchback spots the ball at the 35 yard-line, which is more of a deterrent to kicking it into the endzone than how the rule was adopted by the owners... that is, spot it at the 30 yard-line.Ironically, the NFL says they changed the kickoffs to allow MORE returns. How is that working out for ya, NFL?
The league should tweak the rule as originally recommended by the Rules Committee and give it a one-year trial.
