Because the defenses need yet another disadvantage.
Just widen the field and add a Centre line, and the Bears' new coach would be right at home.
Will this affect the race track in Lawrence?that would be interesting if the NCAA would adopt the same rule. Some stadiums might not be able to fit a larger field without taking out some seats, Kinnick comes to mind.
This means our linebackers would be smaller and faster. Maybe some more sideline interceptions to the house. More onside kicks.Exactly! There is a balance the NFL needs to maintain, imo. Yeah, everyong likes a good offensive game, but if it turns into the arena league and last team to touch the ball, footballs dominance will soon slip, imo.
If it helps to prevent injuries I'm all for it. I believe that was the idea behind it in the first place. Since the field is wider there would be less straight on hard hits.
