Whenever the topic of kick, punt returns is brought up, Brian has mentioned a rule change.

What is the current rule?

What is the old rule?

And when did the rule change happen?

Well, they used to kick off from closer, like or from further back.

So they forget what year it was.

But the big rule changes were in the last 10 years, they've gotten rid of the wedge.

So you used to go to wedge.

And like, so like the way you used to do kickoffs is I'm trying to everybody be spread out.

Then everybody comes together.

And you, and then you'd have to hammer through the wedge, and that's when a lot of injuries were

happening.

That's why it was wedge busters, wedge breakers.

And that's a risk of a lot of injuries when you're doing that.

No doubt.

And so that was a big change to the rules that made returning kicks a little bit harder.

Pump return is not so much a rule chain. And the other thing that's changed is kickers are a lot more powerful legs nowadays. They can just kick it out of the end zone more than they used to. Right. And they moved it up five yards. Right. Because it used to be from the 30, I thought. I think, I know it's the 35 now because it's 40 in high school.

It's 35 in college.

I'm actually going to go.

That's for sure.

I know. I think the NFL was the 30, and I think they moved it up to the 35.
