The Gnat Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I'm assuming also a play that has more injuries with it. I wonder what they'll come up with. Since they are crowsourcing, it'll likely be just changing it to "Punty McPuntFace" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFlaccoSeagulls Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Keep punts the same but the first gunner down the field has to beat the returner in a best-of-three Rock, Paper, Scissors game or else the returner can keep running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 The CFL has a "no yards" rule. There is no fair catching, but it is required to give the Returner at least 5 yards space when he is initially fielding the punt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyler735 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 First they kill kickoffs with the change to the 35 yard line, now they are trying to kill punt returns. Sucks they are eliminating a part of the game that produces some of the most exciting plays in the sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember lots of them, as I can't recall the last time I saw a penalty on a punt. It's needless to change special teams play any more than they already have. I'm already bored with the arena league nature of regular play...I guess they really want me to stop watching the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atown703 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 very true but he still made kickoffs fun to watch. I'm sure if you googled it, there has been twice as many punt return TDs over kickoff TDs throughout the entire league history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
