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.

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.

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.

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.

Anything flies if he's really freaking good.

But you will absolutely see a fast collapse if he isn't.

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.
