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.

With all those guys on one side it seems all or nothing to me. Either the returner will have no space and get shut down quickly or blocks will be good and he will break a tackle and have only the kicker to beat to bet to endzone.

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.
