00:00Ain't gonna lie. I am super curious about tonight's Hall of Fame game and
00:07the new kickoff rules
00:09Seeing them actually applied now. They did it in the UFL. So I guess it's not like the most
00:15You know unseen and I've previously seen before innovation in the history of sport
00:20But it is I am curious as to how that's gonna play itself out kicker standing on his own 35
00:26Coverage team is on like the 30 the other teams 35 and the return teams on the 30 or the
00:3230 and the 25 whatever they're five yards apart, but on the receiving ends
00:37Seeming teams end of the field
00:39Kick it in the end zone. I think the ball comes out to the 35
00:43So you're trying not to kick it in the end zone and yet kick it as deep as possible. The return man is between
00:48Trying to kick it between the 20 and the 10. I don't know that's a
00:52lot of rules
00:54You tweet out a couple days ago. You thought part of this was a bit much
01:00I can't stand what they've done to the onside kick
01:03They've taken away from being a strategy in the game the surprise onside kick. Yeah
01:09It's it's completely gone. I mean they've knew they knew it a few years ago anyway
01:15With just different rules on how you can line up as a kicking unit and all that and you know
01:20They did that for the safety of the play sure
01:24Super dismissive
01:26Right as we schedule a 17th game. I can't wait for the 18th game. I got you. Sure. No, that makes a lot of sure
01:31I got yep
01:32It is hypocritical. You're right. Well, that's the NFL but doing this. I mean, what's the point of doing this?
01:38What's the point in saying that you can't have an onside kick in the first three quarters of the game? Well
01:44What why don't know you have to announce your onside kicks now like the and then what's the point in that?
01:50Well, because if your kicker standing on the 35, how else are you gonna do it when your return team is
01:56But it's against in there how stupid this rule is. Oh, you don't like this
01:59I don't know if I like this or not. I just see I think it brings the kick return back into play. I
02:05Mean, I will see how it works out. It just it seems like it's really convoluted like they're doing
02:10They're going through hoops to come up with something that was
02:13Okay, fine. Not that long ago
02:17You want for the safety of the game?
02:20I can understand that but it's like they wanted it both ways. They got tired of kickers kicking the ball out of the end zone
02:26Because they were too strong of a leg. All right. Well, let's let's find a way to bring it back and it's I
02:31Don't know. I think they're overthinking this whole thing when it comes to kicking
02:36Step away from them just eliminating kicking all together and teams just start from their own 25 yard line. Well, they don't want that
02:42Well, we'll see what happens. Well, it's good. This is gonna be the biggest thing tonight to Doug
02:47I agree this whole kicking situation. I've read or looked at this whole thing
02:50There's a lot a lot of rules a lot of things going on that landing zone what you're talking about Doug
02:56Yeah
02:56It's called a landing zone the the carriers essentially have to kick it in this landing zone
03:00And if you do and it stays there you have to return it, you know
03:04Now if it goes into the end zone, you can down it. There's gonna be so many they're gonna be telling people
03:08I think throughout the night about this rule
03:10So people kind of can try to understand it
03:13The whole point was they didn't want that ceremonial kick through the end zone like you said Gator they want some action
03:18they want it to be some strategy involved and they want to see returns a
03:23Kick that hits short of the landing zone is treated like a kickoff out-of-bounds and will be spotted at the 40
03:29You have to kick it in the landing zone. We will be hearing landing zone a lot. Yep. Yes, we will
03:35And then if it hits the landing zone goes out to the end zone, there's another rule for that if it goes over the landing
03:40Zone, there's another rule for that
03:42the guys the guys covering and the guys
03:45Receiving or the kickoffs?
03:48They can't move until the ball touches the ground or a player
03:52Man, it's a lot going on be interesting to see tonight. All right, so
