NFL GM: 2-Score Leads Would Be Blown 'Just Like That' If Onside Kicks Changed

preview

XA proposed rule that would have given teams the option to convert a 4th-and-15 to retain possession after scoring rather than attempt an onside kick was tabled by owners Thursday:Tom Pelissero There was no official vote on the 4th-and-15 proposal, but they did take a (virtual) show of hands and it did not have the support to pass at this time. A bold idea that would've needed 24 of 32 votes. Expect it to come up again. https://t.co/XRuJBIlEG9Ian Rapoport From NFL Now: The NFL owners tabled the fourth-and-15 proposal that was to supplement onsides kicks, though it has more support than it ever has. https://t.co/czfP5JChV0"Bottom line," aYou work all game to build a two-score lead, and it's gone just like that."Below is what owners were set to vote on:Tom Pelissero Clubs received updated language on the proposed onside kick alternative that (as @AlbertBreer noted) clarifies it can only be used in regulation, not overtime, and is an untimed down.

Confirms it was tabled. Roger Goodell asked CC to get all feedback from clubs on ways to address it and bring it back, so the CC will.Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney II told of the team's official website that he deemed the rule, which "got the most discussion" of any proposal under review, to be "just a little bit too much of a gimmick."Onside kicks were prior to the 2018 season when the league introduced new kickoff rules in an effort to limit high-speed collisions, which has caused a noticeable decrease in recoveries over the last two seasons. In 2019, only eight of 63 onside attempts were successful (h/t NFL.com's ).&nbsp;🚨 SPORTS NEWS ➡️ YOUR INBOXThe latest in the sports world, emailed daily.Maybe later
