He doesn’t look like he’d be that fast

Good morning, Mike. Do you have anything new and different planned for this year’s version of your game day “live blog”? I’m looking forward to it already. Thanks.

Nothing new planned. Just hoping it works reliably. That’s always a win in the live interaction world.

Hi guys, I really enjoy reading your articles on the different players like Daniel Whelan or Kenneth Odumegwu. Has it at some point happened to you that you wrote an article on a player and then that player got released before you could publish the article?

I think his combination of speed and power can bring something different over four quarters. I asked Love a version of your question Tuesday and this was a portion of his answer: “His cutting ability in and out of the holes is crazy. It’s fun to watch … He’s going to be a hard player to tackle.”

What happens in the new kickoff format when the wind is blowing the ball off the tee? It seems like a considerable disadvantage to the kicking team if they have to line another player up 30 yards behind the setup zone. Or will the holder be able to start running up to the setup zone after the kick? What about the kicker, what are his limitations after the ball is kicked but before it lands on a normal kick? So many questions.

If the ball is blown off the tee twice, the kicking team can send a 12th player onto the field to hold for the kickoff, but he must immediately sprint to the…
