SEAHAWKS about to take advantage of DYNAMIC kick return advantage?! (Full Season Study REVEALED!)

Shawn Syed of Sumer Sports took the deep dive of all analytical deep dives in trying to get a feel for how the NFL's new kickoff rule will look as they unveil it for the first time this season.
To do that, he went back to the genesis of the rule, the XFL, and charted every single kickoff play from their 2023 season.
What trends did he find? How did teams scheme up the return game, and how did they choose to cover it?
How does the rule the NFL is instituting differ from what the XFL did?
How might it impact roster construction, and the game itself? Watch to find out!

[@hctonlineclass]

Really enjoyed hearing from Shawn! Thanks for giving him a platform to share his insights and hope to see him on more shows in the future. GO HAWKS!

Your guests comments about the data showing the kickers skills being less important than imagined makes me wonder if the Seahawk coaches have figured that out too. Might explain why they keep bringing in guys who have potential as returners, perhaps looking for the best combination of return/reaction skills.

I would declare offside on every kick even if I ain’t doing it.

[@charliecarter6637]

Great show. Very informative.

[@LngLvdKing]

Man.. to have to declare an onside kick is kinda soft/cheesy

[@RobertHale-lo5nm]

Any rules about onside kicks to be aware of?

[@SeahawksForeverDanViens]

Yes! Only in the 4th quarter and the team has to declare it

[@RobertHale-lo5nm]

Im interested in how many backs and recievers the hawks will carry on 53 man roster
