From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.
this seems like a good thing all around, not sure why the Packers rejected this, it seems a perfect situation for us, we have a very good returner with Nixon, glad it passed.
The flip-side, of course, is that we have to cover more kick-offs.
I thought that was always part of the game
I see no down side, only the ability to gain better starting field position for the offense, as long as our ST's does it's part.
becomes more like just a run play, slows the high speed collisions, requires quality run style blocking to spring the ball carrier past the 30 yrd line.

You don't make a decision on a rule that could stay in the game in perpetuity based on a player you have for a couple of years.
You do if the league is gonna vote to keep the rule again next year anyway.
IMO at the NFL level this is going to create an insane amount of kicks returned for TDs. Almost to the point where it becomes a big time contract.
It's interesting to note that the average yards per return was lower in the XFL (21.3) compared to the NFL (23.0) last season. The main reason for the change was that 97% of the kickoffs were returned in the XFL last season compared to only 22% in the NFL.

do you happen to have the average starting field position after a kick off between the 2 leagues?

Unfortunately I was only able to find play-by-play data from week 4 on from last year's XFL season. Since then, the average starting field position was 29.7 yards on a total of 299 kickoffs.

As far as I know it was 25.2 yards in the NFL.
thanks, I figured starting field position would be better, just stands to reason, more returns = more returns past the 25.
defensively I'am sure we'll hear complaints, but fans (me) like scoring, and this is bound to increase it.
I'm gonna miss the 12 meaningful plays a year he provided...
Jaguars signed TE Josiah Deguara, formerly of the Packers, to a one-year contract.
Deguara was a third-round pick of the Packers in 2020, and has totaled 47 receptions for 436 yards and two touchdowns for his career. He managed only eight catches for 65 scoreless yards last season, as rookies Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave earned significant playing time out of the gate. Deguara won’t have any fantasy relevance in Jacksonville’s offense.
I think this is probably pretty indicative of his time here, but I could have sworn his name was Josh.
Didn’t he get J Loves first TD? I remember him taking a screen to the house with incredible speed and thinking where the heck did that come from. Then he faded back into mediocrity and did nothing of note all last year.
Ya, the locker room isn't going to care either way.

Oh they'll care....if he isn't good.
When you have an out there personality, you expose yourself easier. But it will be covered up if you're good and win. The leash is shorter if you aren't though.
