Running into the kicker.
Roughing the kicker.

It's fucking ridiculous.
Make it a 15 yard penalty or nothing at all.

Like they did that stupid face mask penalty incidental/personal foul.
They took care of that crap, it's time to do away with "running into the kicker".


What else is stupid AF

Only thing I can think of is changing the rule where if you fumble out of bounds in your opponents end zone it's a touch back, when it should just be put on the 1 yard line or whatever the point was that it was fumbled if further away(Ingram bounced one about 15 yards through the endzone against Auburn once).

I'll give you one that would radically alter the way the game is played.

Definition of "Possession."

Teams that score on a safety get to receive the kickoff because the ball never changed
"possession." A Safety and a successful on-side kick are the only two exceptions to
alternating possessions.

Make a Pick 6 or a returned fumble for a TD the same as a safety. Then the turnover would
really mean something.

You started the play with the ball in your possession...I took it from you and scored on that play.
It is now my turn for possession. (Current rules change possession the moment the ball is
picked-up or picked off).

No Beth Mowins, no Mack Brown anywhere near a microphone.

That sounds dumb as hell.

I think he's saying someone has to be targeted every play or it's a penalty.
Or at least have an inconclusive targeting video review sandwiched between commercial breaks.

If you have possession of the ball with 2 feet down across the goal line it’s a td. Same issue the NFL has on catches, people are tired of the bullshit.

How about a time limit on reviews? If it takes 3 minutes or 8 minutes or whatever it's inconclusive. If you have to have 8 different angles, zoom the footage and then piece two angles together then just move on. Instant review should just fix the obvious misses.

Also, if the announcers think the call should stand and the replay official has the same angle then there is not indisputable evidence.

Last year or so there was talk of eliminating kickoffs due to player safety.

I say legalize the forward pass with All 10 other players being legal receivers on the return team up to the 25 yard line. That would take away some of the aggressiveness of the KO team and make returns a lot more safe and exciting.

I just want them to make the right call, don't care how long it takes even though I sometimes wonder what takes so long.

Oregon on offense is 5 yards from scoring on Washington, hand off, running Back gets hit at the one and fumbles the ball out the back of the end zone. Washington ball at the 20 yardline.

yeah i get that. Im saying why change that? Offense fucks up so the other team should be penalized by making them play out of their own end zone?
