Huh? That's not the impression I got at all. I don't have children so perhaps something went over my head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 So, the Jets bailed on their 2nd joint practice with the Bucs. Not a great look for the team with the most eyes on it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the NFL doesn't have to adopt it identically, it's a better place to start from than the nonsense that will happen this year. Make the kickoff great again! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcblack34 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I think the NFL either needs to swallow its pride and adopt the XFL measure, make the kickoff a punt, or just get rid of it altogether. It's pretty worthless the way it is. I too love the XFL style of kickoff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad People Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I wouldnt mind the XFLs version of the kickoff. I dont want it removed completely as a kickoff return for a tuddy is the most exciting play in the NFL but it needs some work for player safety. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrplChilPill Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Big fan of that XFL kickoff! The NFL has to do something about kickoffs for sure.....I had an idea earlier this year, but I'll be darned if I can recall it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 All plays that would be illegal today and probably get you thrown out of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eliminating them would be bad for the entertainment aspect of the game. I'm all for the XFL style kickoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 If the NFL implemented the XFL kickoff during next year’s preseason, I’d bet that it would be extremely popular amongst the fans. And, I think you’d have a lot more kick returns for touchdowns. Which are always fun to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 As far as Pete Carroll is concerned, Father Time can get bent. The Seahawks coach turns 72 in four weeks. On Thursday, he played quarterback at practice. He was nimble. He was spry. He ran. He threw. He flung it across his body, no-look style. He scrambled. It was amazing. It’s an inspiration to the rest of us who either are that age — or eventually will be, if we’re lucky. That’s right, punk. You too will eventually get old. If you live that long. And there are plenty of things that suck about getting older. But it’s always better than the alternative. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/pete-carroll-71-can-still-move-and-throw one of the rare times i've agreed with Florio, lol.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
