Much ado about nothing IMO regarding KOs as defenders so far away so to each his own.
I get it. You really thought you had a great zinger there but those pesky stats and history intervened.

You do have a point about the defenders not being able to move until the KR touches the ball, but all it takes is a fluke bounce for disaster to strike. I just feel like it’s an accident waiting to happen with Velus. For the record, I think he gets the job…doubt he keeps it.

Did anyone feel any certain way about this when you saw it on Hard Knocks. I mean i definitely remembered that he said what he said but didn't really take too much from it.

Caleb Williams epic preseason clip either belongs in Canton or will age horribly
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams will hope his words don’t age as poorly as those of his predecessor.

I mean I don't because of context. I think he is saying we have a special defense and practicing against them is harder than preseason games. Which is likely true because our opponents are playing more vanilla, while Flus is likely prepping him with all types of defensive tricks.Did anyone feel any certain way about this when you saw it on Hard Knocks.

Good point. I think if a kick off is muffed by the returner, it should be a touchback or downed at that spot. Returners should be penalized for muffing a kick with no immediate threat in the vicinity. Especially when you factor in the kicking team not having a chance like before to recover the muff.

I think Velus isn't used to the ball's arrival, the fucked up part about Velus is he should of knew the about the rules he asked the referee during the game on Hard Knocks about downing the ball if it arrives, my wife thought that was stupid of him and he might just be a nervous wreck.
Thing is.. She's right.
They mentioned the ball arrives quicker and you basically have 10 guys somewhat 15 yards away in front of you, we can't have Velus muffing balls back there, another step lost on that play and Velus would of been flat line. Velus will botch them balls again, we been here before.

Plus Goodell likes to throw some crazy winds into the script to make the double doinks more believable.

Man don't be ridiculous. Goodell has no power over the wind. He did have to approve the Soldier Field renovation though and had them angle it so that the wind would have the desired effect

Never knew that Goodell had a say in the renovations before. If this really happened, Than my thoughts are along the lines of.. The NFL doesn't want the Bears to move or such. Just my thoughts.
IMO, Can't keep moving teams to indoors when the game was meant for outdoors (originally Canada's weather). I think that's how the NFL will crumble once the element of surprise is gone.

You can't keep having a few teams outdoors when most have moved indoors.
Then there's the issue of the high ticket prices, the only ones who can afford them don't want to be out in bad weather.
