dynamic kickoff rule<\/a>, which owners voted to make permanent this year. Under the rule, the ball is kicked from the 35-yard line, but every player on the kicking team must wait at the 40 until the ball hits the ground or is touched by a returner inside the 20-yard line.\n <\/p>\n\n There are also rules for if a ball does not reach the landing zone, hits the landing zone without being caught or lands in the end zone.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cI think it\u2019s so terrible. I think it\u2019s so demeaning, and I think it hurts the game. It hurts the pageantry,\u201d Trump said. \u201cI\u2019ve told that to (NFL Commissioner) Roger Goodell, and I don\u2019t think it\u2019s any safer. I mean, you still have guys crashing into each other.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n The league has maintained the dynamic kickoff system is safer while producing more kickoff returns. And Toub, who has spent more than two decades coaching special teams in Chicago and Kansas City, didn\u2019t hold back Thursday when he was asked what he thought of the president\u2019s pointed criticism of the kickoff rules.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cHe doesn\u2019t even know what he\u2019s looking at. He has no idea what\u2019s going on with the kickoff rule,\u201d said the normally reserved Toub, his voice rising.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cSo take that for what it\u2019s worth. And I hope he hears it.\u201d\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kansas City, Missouri AP \u00a0\u2014\u00a0 Kansas City Chiefs special teams coach Dave Toub doesn\u2019t care a whole lot…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":297295,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[49,48,514,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-297294","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=297294"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297294\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/297295"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=297294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=297294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=297294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
