This will be one of the biggest unknowns going into the new season.  Luckily every team is in the same boat.  It will all be a matter of who figures it out best

Like you said, every team is in the same boat and, luckily, it looks like Money Mac is up to the challenge and is excelling at trying to make it work.

My question is, if they're trying to eliminate hits and make for less returns, why give the other team the ball further up the field if they kick a touchback, thus making it more beneficial to have the other team return it?

Cinci doesn't seem too windy to impact his kicks, although it does tend to be windier along the river near the stadium.

Just glad we have Mac working hard to get it right!
