Takeaways from the player safety meeting on kickoffs: changes coming, likely eliminating the 2-man wedge, no running start for the kicking team, only 3 players allowed deep.

I hate kickoffs now thanks to the last change. I think it would be stupid to eliminate the onside kick.

Sirius radio moving the chains show stated that punting is the answer going forward. Far less injuries and teams can decide to go for it or punt so the onside kick is basically still in play.

Mike Westoff said there were 18 concussions on kickoffs last year. There were 2,494 kickoffs last year which means there was a concussion 1:138 kickoffs.

That was in lieu of a coin toss not the kickoff.
