What was up with return game?

I think the team that is kicking off should have the choice to 1) place the ball on the 20 or 2) kick off. Almost every team would choose the ball on the 20 but it still keeps opportunity for an onside kick if a team needs it.

I’d never want to see punts eliminated. Removes chance of a block, bad snap, etc where the kicking team must execute

Agree on punts - so much can happen that it needs to stay on the game, although the rugby style punters are going to become like soccer-style PKers became in the '70's and '80's, when every team had to have them. The directional kicking is going to make returns a rarity at some point.

The problem started with the sissification of football. They designed the rules so there would be less fun, less chance to turn the momentum and less skill involved.

This was ostensibly done for "safety".

Part of making America great again is getting rid of these feminine loser ideas that has drug our country down.
Get rid of targeting and feminine kickoff rules designed to reduce skill, excitement and fun or you will never see things like this again:

Special teams are a joke in todays game. They aren't the potential game changing plays they once were. Honestly, I don't think the game would change much, if at all, were they to just eliminate kickoff and punt returns altogether. Just start every drive at the 25 instead of kicking off and allow 45 yards on a change of possession when it's 4th down instead of punting it.

Boo this man!

I think he was trying to spark something. He looked kind of indecisive though on his lane choice once he got moving.

That’s the second game in a row he’s looked indecisive. Hope he gets his mojo back! We need him!
