They moved it to the 35 yard line maybe there were too many touchdowns on Kick Return.

I really don't see any reason that justifies doing so, and I was against it. The run back is a very important part of the game, and adds excitement to the kick off. Moving the ball up 5 yards will only create more touch backs. They say they are doing it for players safety, but there are many other things they could have done first.

Other things they thought about changing about the kick off was moving the touch back position up to the 25 yard line instead of the 20, and eliminating the two man wedge. Only the 35 yard line move was approved.

Exactly which leads me to believe that the NFL doesn't know what it is doing, for Player safety and much of the risk factor is still high.

Whats worse than this, and has seemed to slip under the radar is that if a QB is in a throwing motion you are no longer allowed to make contact with him...the game is being ripped apart by goodell's b***h a**.

What was wrong with the old rule? Aside from a few hard hits on a couple returns it seemed fine. If they are so afraid of hits why not just force teams to start from the 20 yard line?
