This thread should be titled "Touch Backs to the 25 and Nugent"
I was thinking about all of this earlier and I think the new rule actually helps us because of Nugent. Nugent doesn't bang them out of the endzone often for touchbacks... at least, not from what I have noticed. If anything, with the leg strength Nugent has, this might actually help us. Teams were already returning it regardless, so now there is just a better chance that they end up <25 meaning a useless return... if that makes sense.
This new rule really benefits those with weaker kickers IMO, and makes it almost worse for teams like the Ravens with Justin Tucker. Now every team will start at the 25 against the Ravens due to JT's strong leg, unless he alters his kicks to kick the ball shorter, hoping that a returner returns it.
Just my thoughts.
