  My Overtime Proposal
Posted by: silverjoel - 06-30-2017, 03:58 PM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (14)

I'm not really sure why I was thinking about OT the other day, but I came up with an interesting idea.  No kicks.  None.  No kickoffs, no punts and no FGs.  Just offense versus defense, removing special teams from the equation.

The winner of the coin toss would have to choose between starting with the ball at their own 25 or defending against the other team at their 25.  With no punting, the team on offense needs to pick up the first down (probably multiple first downs) or the other team will start out with really good field position, but still no FGs, so they would need to score a TD.
A team couldn't just play the field position battle because there are no punts.  A goal line stand by a defense wouldn't bail out the offense from having to move the ball (safety would lose the game).  I could see some interesting strategies developing.  Every play would be important, every penalty would be important.
This, of course, would only apply to the regular season.  For the post season, they should really just play another quarter. 

That's my idea, what's good and what's bad?  Should FGs still be in play?

Eagles MLB Jordan Hicks injured his hand on his honeymoon in Greece this week.
The severity of the injury isn't known, but it's not believed to be serious. Hicks is still in Greece but has sent pictures of his hand to team doctors. He supposedly got hurt getting out of a pool. Hicks is one of the building blocks on defense in Philly. He was Pro Football Focus' No. 7 inside linebacker out of 59 qualifiers last season, excelling in coverage. He could open camp on the NFI list if tests show a multi-week injury.
