Would you be wiling to give up a 2nd rounder for

And I think that's what butkus is trying to say. The big boys would essentially have to backpeddle 15 yards before the speedier guys on the defensive side blow right past them to blow up the returner. Not to mention, you almost have to predict where the kicker is going to try to land the ball. If you set your linemen up in the middle then a kick to the left or right has them out of position to effectively block. No doubt, it'll be fun to see how teams deal with the new rules, but not sure the linemen option is a good one.

It's the WHOLE point. You're not getting it. NOBODY CAN MOVE until the ball is caught or it hits the ground. If it hangs up forever the returner will have time to run under it and catch it...AT THAT POINT the blockers and defenders can now start moving. Literally NOTHING can happen...and I mean NOTHING as far as movement goes, until the returner catches it or it hits the ground.

Okay, are you telling me all the blockers are just going to stay there on the 35 yard line AFTER the receiver catches the ball on the 5 yard line? How’s that supposed to work?

My outside speed guys will block their outside speed guys. My “fatties” will engage their inside lightweight speed guys around the 25-30.  Especially the tackles are skilled at kicking back a few steps and setting the anchor. They do it all the time against pass rushers. 

Butkus: I have read and understand the rules.
