Are Totals Going To Be Lower In NFL By Moving Kickoffs To 35?

All of the offensive & defensive line men are going to be out of shape & overweight

I agree, most kickers are going to try to boot it out of the endzone - I expect that there will be more touchbacks. But I also expect a lot more ineffective kick offs and potentially more space for a returner (only just).

Hogwash.... the kicking team will be down field soooo... fast and in the returners face.

Closer to the endzone should mean more points plus less time run off the clock
