I think Boston Scott was signed primarily for kickoff returns in light of this massive change. We do not want to have any starters or key backups in this role and Scott seems to have the speed and shiftiness to excel in this role. We need to excel in all three phases, offense, defense, and special teams in order to compete for the Lombardi this year, and I think we will.
New kickoff rule - big change

Wrong thread,9ers are some place else.Do you have an opinion on this subject? Like where The Rams stand against them ?
Marty vs there Michigan guy ?
Boston vs Debo ??
I think we both agreed the last few years having Copper Kupp as a PR guy was scary.IMO The Rams won The Super Bowl because of there PR in Brandon Powell. I mean he helped very much in his role.
I get the strategy of it in the sense it is new.Taking extra time & addressing these type of changes year to year & knowing the rule can be huge. Just ask RatBoy about that when it came to the playoffs & Super Bowl.
I guess The Real question should have been asked what they did on there bye week for winning The NFC ? That was a Big Rule change last season I believe ? They were the first team to win it since the rule change ? That means they were the only other team beside say Baltimore to have a Bye Week ?
They also elected to take a LOSS from The Rams to end the 2023 season. Just glad The Rams weren’t the last & made RatBoy look bad with not knowing the rules wiped over his face with that play chart he uses.

I do like adding excitement to the game. The Punt return rule is another good one after the play ?
I’m still not exactly sure what that’s all about ? I guess Like when hit that Niner in the Super Bowl it’s still a live ball.KC recovered it.
The one I think is when a defender touches it first then it’s a free ball for the offense ? I think they need to secure it & let the ball become dead & whistle blows ? That gets me at times thinking the play is dead,turn to swig a beer & go wtf ?
What did I just miss & where does the ball get placed ? I guess penalties can still happen & the receiving team has the choice of where they want the ball.Is it a Ref’s decision ? A team could say they like it better a couple yards back.I could see that if it was an Oakland Raiders game where the field still had the baseball diamond on it ?

That is a question a lot are still sorting out. Chiefs might use a defensive player to kickoff now. Opens up some possibilities all though the point was to try and make kickers more useful and not less lol.

Really makes sense. Is it that hard to teach a hard hitting safety how to kick a ball off a tee, and the less perfect a kick the better?

THAT is an interesting strategy!
Find someone that can kick it deep and can tackle.
Use the actual PK only for kicks where accuracy matters.
