Orion Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Today, the Bull & the Fox did a segment on getting rid of the kicker and various concepts of how to change things. Anything from No Kicking at all, to Drop Kicks. Here's what I would do: You're only allowed one kicker. He kicks and punts. He must handle the duties all game. If someone else has to kick/punt (injury/ding) that player must handle the duties for the rest of the game. No more kicking extra points. 1 point for converting from the 2 yard line, 2 points for converting from the 10. You CAN kick field goals but the ball must be at or inside the 25 yard line. I would still allow kick-offs.....but I could be bribed into eliminating them. ------- Your thoughts....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rrrraught, No Thanks. Rrraught. You don't think football is too dependent upon the kicker? Guys pound each other all game long and some nerd comes in and kicks a FG from 50 yards... I'd even be willing to say No FG attempts unless you're at or inside the 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comeonman Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 If you went into the future 25 years and came back telling me not a single rule had changed from now, I would be incredibly happy. Almost every rule change that is made ruins the game a little more IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibleedbrown Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 In football 80% of any given team has the job of blowing up their opponent. They’re big dudes who hit weights and are athletic. Then there’s roughly 16% of the team that has a similar workout routine, and a similar job, except they are tasked with handling a ball while blowing up other dudes. And then there’s kickers. I actually like that such a critical job on a football team is held by dudes who are nothing like the rest of the team. They’re like pets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already moved the goal posts back once, and shrunk them. Shrink them again. Unlike pro Basketball which has stubbornly stuck to a 10' basket height. Crowd loves those thunder dunks. Crap, I'm betting 1\2 the guys could still dunk if they raise the basket to 11', it just wouldn't be automatic anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that I feel it's too easy to get FG points, obviously, this season is showing the opposite, I just think it takes a little too much away from the way football was intended. We'd be seeing more 'football' plays from scrimmage. If you got on the other side of the 50 you might go for more 4th downs because you know the opponent has to drive down to the 20 or 25 yard line in order to score points.

Canton Dawg Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 I like the idea of who ever scores the TD must also kick the extra point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
