NFL Is Considering Changes To The Way Teams Punt

Is this an issue? I don't recall seeing a lot of people getting hurt on punts.

They've changed the kicking game for scoring. They've changed the kicking game for kickoffs. Now they are trying to change the kicking game for scrimmage kicks (in this case: punts). Next they'll be changing scrimmage kicks for scoring (FGs). Eventually they will get rid of the kicking game all together and it will no longer be football. I don't understand the statement about blocks being so bad on punts. I see more holding and blocks in the back but I haven't seen either one of those cause significant damage (maybe I'm missing something??) Kick Catch Interference where the kicking team gunner blows the receiver up as the ball gets there is probably the most heinous but even that has been minimized.

There is a point of no return. At some point, in the near future, this will no longer be football.

The pussification of what was once a great game continues. At some point, a contact sport has risk. The players are willing to take this risk in order to make millions of dollars. Risk/reward.

Sucks because I was going to work with my son to make him an awesome punter so he could become a millionaire the easiest way in America.

The return game does suck in the NFL. No return TDs anymore, too many penalties for block in the back. Returning any kick has become too negative EV as a result.

Insurance companies are now taking over sports.

How about, stop messing with the game? It is a violent, physical sport. You want to make it safer? Remove the pads and play flag football.
