Less Foot, More Finesse

Fortunately, I read an article about the kickoff moving to the 35 yard line before I said too much about my opinion, because now I agree with the decision. Yes, it may cause an increase in touchbacks, but I think it will also encourage kickers to further hone their game. With less need for pure power and more room for finesse, we may see an increase in the craft of the kicker, and an ability to pinpoint the opponent in a deep corner.

The supreme athletes on special teams may not get up the enormous heads of steam that can lead to crushing injuries, but let them craft their tackles, too. Less helmet, more finesse.
