But with everyone lined up on the returning side of midfield, if everyone blocks well you might just have to beat one guy and it's a TD.
That's my concern, too. They may have broken the game. We'll probably know by the end of preseason if this is going to be a disaster. My understanding is that all of the Special Teams Coordinators were on board with that, which I doubt would have happened if they thought it was uncoverable.

Yeah, I saw someone breaking down how schematically it's the kicker who needs to make the tackle. They've certainly gotten more athletic since I was a kid, but I still wouldn't want to be counting on my kicker to make a tackle.
