NFL passed the new kickoff rules, which is essentially the XFL rules. At least it won't be a pointless play anymore.

During the 2024 season, kickers will continue to kick from the 35-yard line, but the other 10 players on the kickoff team will line up at the receiving team's 40-yard line. At least nine members of the return team will line up in a "setup zone" between the 35- and 30-yard lines. Up to two returners can line up in a "landing zone" between the goal line and the 20-yard line.
No one other than the kicker and returner(s) can move until the ball hits the ground or hits a player inside the landing zone. Touchbacks will be marked at the 30-yard line, and no fair catches will be allowed. In the event a team wants to attempt an onside kick, it will have to inform officials of its intent and would then be allowed to use the NFL's traditional formation. No surprise onside kicks will be allowed.
Exactly. It has become a nothing burger of a play. This should make things more exciting.
agree
excited for this

The drop tackle rule is shit tho. So no more running guys down? Defenders gave to just hope they can swipe their legs out from under them?
Running guys down is not a hip drop tackle. DK Metcalf running down Budda Baker tackle is still fine. The tackle that injured Mark Andrews this season is what they’re banning; you have to drop your hips and swivel into the ball carrier’s legs for it to be a penalty. I don’t think it will be perfect, but based on the strong reaction people have had to this rule I didn’t know so many people loved knee injuries.

damn, Houston is trying to unseat KC in a big way.
As you should when you have a good QB on a rookie deal.
100%

I’d be excited if I was a Houston fan. This could be Beckham in LA or Brown in Tampa. If they can get it done this season. This shit will not have a long shelf life.
