The message from Eagles special teams coach Michael Clay when it comes to the NFL’s new kickoff rule is this:What will it look like? What kind of returners will work best? How will they defend it? How will it work?The NFL has overhauled kickoffs going into the 2024 season as a one-year experiment to try and reduce injuries in what has traditionally been a dangerous play while also adding some juice to a play that had become virtually meaningless.
“The great thing about it, 31 other teams are in the same boat,” Clay said. “We have spent a good amount of time on it - not taking away from other aspects - because, obviously, it's a new rule, you have to get used to it. “Who knows what the style is going to look like?” Clay said. “What we're really trying to do is to eat up as many yards as possible going north and south. But going into this whole thing, we don't know what it's going to look like. Everybody else doesn't know what it's going to look like.
Clay said he and his staff are spending as much time figuring out how to defend returns as they are figuring out what their own returns are going to look like.
