Analysis: Yes, the Broncos’ fourth-and-15 proposal actually has a chance to pass
NFL teams could have an alternative next season to onside kicks, such as this one by the Ravens' Justin Tucker. By Mark Maske Mark Maske Sports reporter covering the NFL Email Bio Follow March 24 at 3:07 PM PHOENIX — When it comes to rule-change proposals, the NFL isn’t much for gimmicks. Owners are a mostly conservative group, and they’re unlikely to give much consideration to any measure that doesn’t take football as seriously as they take themselves and their league.
But it appears that the fourth-and-15 proposal will not be rejected out of hand as some proposals made by teams are. The new rules were put in place before the 2018 season in what amounted to a last-ditch attempt to keep the kickoff from being eliminated entirely. League leaders had called the kickoff football’s most dangerous play. And the new rules seemed to work. Concussions suffered by players on kickoffs were down 35 percent this past season, according to the NFL’s injury data.
The fourth-and-15 proposal, sometimes credited to former Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano, once was considered a potential replacement for the kickoff. A team could have chosen to try for a first down or punt the ball away.
