Informal discussions that will be formalized for Rules Committee at CFL Combine in March after CFL meetings were held in Nashville today.
@TSNDaveNaylor:
There are 2 options @CFL is considering on kickoffs:
1 — allow teams that surrender a touchdown to take the ball on own 40 yard line. Under this proposal, kickoffs would happen to start a game, start a half and during final 3 minutes to preserve ability to on-side kick.#CFL
2 — The XFL model kickoff where teams line-up 5 yards from each other to prevent the high speed collisions that lead to injuries.#CFL
And there is no momentum to legalize the “tush-push” in the @CFL. Currently players can push the pile but not a ball carrier, especially not from pre-snap formation. #CFL
