League feedback on kick-off proposal encourages Simmons
The Bengals’ Darrin Simmons emerged from the NFL’s safety summit Wednesday pleased with how the league responded to the coaches’ proposal to make the kickoff safer.
Things are moving rather quickly. The owners could approve the new kickoff at their meeting later this month.
“We recognized we need to make the play safer,” Simmons said. “We’re trying to take the steps as coaches to do that. I think the league will respond to that well. We had very good feedback in the meeting. I thought it was very, very productive. It was a good thing.”
