[QUOTE="bobongo, post: 423768, member: 3893"] Kickoff rules changes take return coverage pretty much off the table. Most every kickoff will result in the ball being placed at the 25 yard line, because in almost all instances a returner would be foolish to run it back. If the ball is fielded anywhere inside the 25, a fair catch guarantees the 25, and with almost all kicks even by mediocre kickers going at least as far as the 10, returners would be prudent to just fair catch the ball. I think most returners aren't going to challenge even our weak coverage, but if they do we have to make them pay. We don't need to kick it in the end zone any more. Any advantage opposing teams had in the past in the kickoff coverage/ return area is nullified with the rules changes this year, which is heavily in our favor. On offense, the most important thing we need to do better this year is for the OT's and OG's to BLOCK. Especially the OT's. The addition of Marshall and DeFoor this year might help a lot. [/QUOTE]
