Solving the NFL Kickoff Problem

I am tired of all this talk about the new NFL kickoff rule, and I have decided to solve all of the NFL's problems.  I agree that the old rule didn't work because players built up too much speed, and this resulted in too many injuries.  There are two ways to cut down on injuries.  The first is to decrease the number of hits by increasing the number of touchbacks.  That's boring, though.  I say you cut down on injuries by giving the players less distance to run and pick up speed.  Instead of letting players start running 5 or 10 yards before the ball is kicked, just make them stand at the 30 until the ball is kicked.  It's the only play in football where the offense is allowed to move forward before a play starts.  Why should one team's players get a running start at another team's players.  That seems destined to cause injuries.  So there you go NFL, keep the ball and the players at the 30 yard line.  Problem solved.

    I was curious if you ever considered changing the page layout of your website?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people
    could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images.

    Maybe you could space it out better?
