Charean Williams, of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, reports the NFL's competition committee is proposing a rule, to be voted on at the league's spring meetings, to increase the amount of time kicking balls are prepared before games. The rule would prevent incidents such as the one that occurred in the Dallas Cowboys loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC playoffs, when Dallas QB Tony Romo infamously bobbled a snap on a late-game field goal, allowing the Seahawks to escape with a win. The ball used on the play appeared to be very slick and unused, making it more difficult to handle.

I love your "romo" description of this.

i personally think they should use same ball for kicking/punting/ that they use while playing...(i realize rotate balls, but do we need special "kicking" balls

And they know this....how? No ball has ever been bobbled unless it was slippery?

I'm sure the only reason that QB's, RB's and WR's don't insist on special passing and rushing balls is that it would give the play away.....many football players are very self-important (no big surprise), and kickers are no exception....any way they can be made to feel special, they will do it.

I thought 'K balls' didn't have the same amount of air in them as the regular balls.

They should make the kickers kick a block of cement next. They are too good.

The real irony???


Charean Williams, of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, reports Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo will not be holding for kickers on field goals and extra points next year because he is now the starting quarterback.

That was my thought too. This rule would have prevented Romo from bobbling that snap? I think that when you have both your hands grasped firmly around your neck you're going to bobble the snap.
