If you happen to follow my writing, and have done so during the course of this offseason, then you may have gathered that I am no fan of the league’s new touchback rule—or, to be more accurate, I don’t particularly believe that the rule will accomplish the objective that it was set out to.
Among others who also do not believe, or at least harbor doubts, that the new rule will actually do what it was designed to do are former kicker Jay Feely and Pittsburgh Steelers president Art Rooney II himself.
