The upcoming NFL season is set to bring a major change to the traditional kickoff rules, with both teams starting near one end zone and kicking off from there, similar to the XFL. Seahawks special teams coordinator Jay Harbaugh recently shared his thoughts on this new format during a practice session.
During a media session, Jay Harbaugh discussed the new kickoff rules and how they may affect return units compared to kickoff units. He predicted that there will be an increase in squib kicks as a result of these changes. The Seahawks will showcase these new kickoffs for the first time in their preseason game on August 10 against the Chargers, coached by Jay’s father Jim Harbaugh.
Known for his unconventional tactics, Jim Harbaugh may attempt a unique trick play in the game against his son. Seahawks fans can look forward to seeing how these new kickoff rules play out in the upcoming games.
