Pereira breaks down the kickoff format and it’s benefits for safety as well as scoring

I remember you were confused by the kickoff rules, pereira did a breakdown

"I love the new kickoff. It was kind of brought from The Spring League last year where you kick off from the 25-yard line. Everything is going to be returned – 95% of kickoffs were returned in The Spring League last year and I think it’s going to be the same this year," he said.

"We line up the teams close together so they’re running down field after the ball is kicked kind of like a punt so I think it’s going to be a safe kickoff return. It’s something we’re going to monitor. But I think with so many kickoff returns from the 25-yard line, the drive start is going to be out by like the 40-, 45-yard line. It’s going to help the offense and it's one of the innovations. We’re trying to get the kickoff back in the game but trying to keep it safe also."

If he ends up being right that drives start at mid field I wonder if we see this league have the highest scoring of all the spring leagues due to having to go less distance to be in field goal range

Gee, sounds like indoor football played on an outdoor field.
