Touchbacks rule doesn't change though, and two man wedges haven't been eliminated.

This is great news for kickers... Billy should shatter the record next season, assuming there is a next season of course.

It will also be interesting to see those really high kicks to the 1 or 2 yard line with the ST unit getting that extra five yards... kick-off strategy could change significantly.

Just when I got used to kicking off from the thirty yard line, the rule is changed. Yes, I can understand that player safety is what we're dealing with here, but I just didn't count on this.

Still, I applaud the move overall.

They just want to make it easy for Billy don't they? lol
