Which blows my mind a little.

Part of the excitement was guys like Devin Hester and Bryan Mitchell and Dante Hall. You watched their games just to see if they were going to run one back 80+ yards. Even guys who didn't make it into the end zone as often made it fun just to see someone break free for 40 or 50 yards before someone pushed them out.

Now, it's either going out the back or the returner gets swarmed almost as soon as he touches the ball. 

The NFL might as well continue to water it down and just do away with kicks. Just start kicks at the 20, punts at the 30.
