I think this makes someone like Tutu more valuable as a returner. It’s like a jet sweep or pitch-play now, basically

Maybe it can be something for Bennett to do (yes i'm kidding because who knows if he'll be on the team and it's hardly the kind of thing you'd make a 3rd QB active for on gameday)...

From McVay's presser yesterday:

“Oh, I’m comfortable. Being involved in a lot of the conversations, I think the intent is to remove a tackle that leads to a more significant amount of injuries. You can see, it’s when you are stopping a guy’s momentum, you’re unweighting on the back of his legs. Those are obvious. Now, there are certain positions that defensive players get in where it’s [the] last line of defense and you’re trying to be able to get a guy down by all means. Those aren’t the ones that they want to officiate. You can see if we all just watched it and you said ‘OK, is this the type of tackle that we want in our game?’ Those are the ones that they’re going to officiate to try to get out because there’s a significant uptick in injuries on those types of tackles when the league studied it. There’s a reason why it was 32-0 in terms of the voting when we were at the league meetings on that.”

McVay said they were kicking the ball into the endzone because they didn't think there was much value in working on the new kickoff in the preseason because they didn't want to show what they've been working on and other teams wouldn't be showing their hands either.

So take these stats with an extra grain of salt:

Thank God the NFL doesn't have a rouge. (1 point in the CFL for missing a field goal but still kicking past the end zone.)
