Teams may attempt more squib kicks, which could potentially create more collisions. Harbaugh indicated it’ll lead to more head injuries, though there’s no data yet to prove it. “I’m for whatever makes the game safer so if that’s a play where more injuries are occurring, more head injuries are occurring, more head impact is occurring, I have no right to stand up here and say, ‘we need to be doing more of it,’ if that’s what we’re trying to avoid, because obviously player safety and health comes first,” Las Vegas Raiders coach Josh McDaniels said. The league predicts the return rate for kickoffs in 2023 will drop from 38% to 31%, and the rate of concussions on the sport’s most dangerous play will be reduced by 15%. NFL data says concussions on kickoffs occur more than twice as often as on plays from scrimmage, and that rate has risen significantly over the last two years.

That’s what really worries me, that we just, we continue to bleed this League (dry). But I hate that we continue to take away from the game. We’ll find a way to adjust, adapt, and still get what we want. “That’s the new rule and then we’ll live by the new rule. It’s very frustrating, but look, I don’t make the rules,” Campbell said. So it’s in and because it’s in, we support it but we thought there were better ideas.”ĭetroit Lions coach Dan Campbell didn’t hold back.
We’ll give it a shot and take a look at it. They want to give it a shot and take a look at it. We think it’s going to create more high-speed head trauma than not having it in there. “We had a long talk and discussion about that. “We had a chance to weigh in on that with all the special teams coaches,” Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh said.
