Proposed KO rules....

[Bilbo Saggins]

The play isn't as exciting as it used to be.  The league average for kickoff returns for a TD are holding steady at about 5 to 7 kickoff returns for TDs per year.  Did you know that the Bengals haven't had a kickoff return TD since 2009 with Bernard Scott?  In fact, that play has been the only Bengal kickoff return TD within the last DECADE.  One touchdown in the past decade is worth having players endure the nastiest of collisions in the game, in a fashion that is unlike any other play in football?  Is it really that much more thrilling than a punt?
