Thoughts on the kickoff:
(1) If they won't revert to the old rules then I prefer this over all the touchbacks.
(2) Recognizing that we were watching 3rd and 4th stringers it seems to "function" like the old kickoff rules. Returners got back to about where the two lines were able to set blocks.
(3) IMO, I'd prefer a RB over a WR/CB returning the kick. I think you need a "put your head down and hit the line" mentality over a player with open field ability.
(4) I would have liked to have seen VJJ last night. If you get 6 KO returns a game as a team, that means in the remaining three games VJJ can get 18 live plays. I think the Bears coaches missed a chance to stack opportunities there. As it is now, all they learned is that Scott is a terrible returner.
And Pettis should be released today. His only shot at making the roster was as a PR.
