    If you still want there to be football in 20 years we all better get on board the "player safety" train.

    It certainly won't be called football without the words "tag, touch, flag or puff" in front of it.

    Flag puff has a nice ring to it.

    Those people who think hitting is being legislated out of the game simply don't understand the rules.

    I don't think anyone's said that. .. .

    My only argument is that making this change will result in more returns, rather than less, and the stated objective by the NFL is to reduce the number of returns. We will see how it actually plays out.

    No one has said it in as many words, but the vitriol with which some people react to rule changes like this would lead one to believe that football as we know it is dead and gone forever.

Obviously you can never make the game 100% safe, but if you can only change 2% of the game yet greatly improve the safety of it, then that's an easy decision.
    I'm not making a argument.

    The guys on the line, or linebackers, running backs and wide receivers for that matter, take way more of a beating than any special teams player. There's really no disputing that.

    You are wearing out the phrase "hot take."

    But you understand the difference between slightly tweaking the kickoff and getting rid of line play, right? One of those two can make the game safer without fundamentally changing it.

    If you understand the difference, I guess I'm not really sure why you even brought up the idea of getting rid of line play in the first place...

    How will moving the touchback to the 25 possibly make more people return it?
