Re: New Kickoff Rule Impact on Saints
I wonder what kind of position players or special teamers will typically be used on this new kickoff play. Since the offense and defense line up directly against each other instead of far apart, I wonder if teams will use starting offensive and defensive linemen like they might on a field goal attempt. It seems like lining up closer together, you might see more size and less speed on the field, with players pushing to open and close holes not covering space, and the returner looking to hit the hole more than having to navigate a maze of speedy tacklers.

Re: New Kickoff Rule Impact on Saints
The surprise onside kick being gone is unfortunate, but this rule change is for the better. This will bring dynamic returning back to the league.

NFL Network does a good job of breaking it down.
