Refuse to bend brings the start of the new rule said League to stop mid-game
Chicago Bears was one of six NFL teams probably voted for a new rule to move the kick-off on a 35-yard kick to the team. The rule, which moves the ball 30 yards line, and should lead, and the back button is less exciting, the Committee held meetings competitive league owners' in March as a step to improve the safety of players. The idea was that these returns are also fascinating collision at high speed too, but the bears did not buy it.
Their opening preseason game Saturday against the Buffalo Soldier Field in Chicago billing units, the Bears refused to accept the new rule, and prefer the first two kick-off instead of 30, who had been in the past. Apparently, officials have created is not closed, since no penalty was called, and it took a call from Vice President of all the posts of staff, Carl Johnson (Notes) and "stop", the account Twitter Johnson's predecessor, the current Fox Sports analyst Mike Pereira.
Bears coach Lovie Smith, who was one of the league teams will return the best years seem to affect the human rights violations and the potential impact. In other words, it was a mistake.
"[Bear Kicker] Robbie Gould (notes) ... we can put on 35 and you can throw every time,''said Smith''Non we really have a good estimate of what we can do the cover with some players is -. what we tried to do with it ..''
Last year, according to Football Outsiders indicators ", the bear was the first position from the half way - the media player was launched shortly after his own 33-yard line of the Houston Texans were the worst. team in that category, half of his unit began shortly after his own 25-yard line. With almost the first difference between the best and worst low, given the recent history of Devin Hester of Chicago, returned the rights (note) Danieal Manning (notes) to Johnny Knox (notes) (image above shows a shot from 70 meters Knox in the game, including the right), you can understand why Smith and the Bears are not satisfied to give a distinct advantage of having built their decisions to staff at all.
The decision to move the ball really help the Bears football team coverage - for notes that Chicago was ranked first 24 opponents of the driveway could be about to start his own 30-yard line. Atlanta Falcons said that his opponent by about 24 shots last season, so it should be part of the team by changing ability has been removed from the equation.
The rule seems to be an overreaction to build on the fun and excitement to the game, and has had very serious consequences. In just the first week of preseason, according to Paul Domowitch and Philly.com, 43 kick-off for the 127, or 33.8 percent, to touch the back. The entire 2010 season, was 16.4 percent of touch-back.
It does not take a math major to understand the effects of the game, and why the Bears want to go rogue on this rule. Will they continue to do, and what can be imposed?
