Browns special teams coordinator Chris Tabor reacts to extra point rule change

On Tuesday, NFL owners approved a new rule change that will move the extra point from the 2-yard line all the way back to the 15-yard line.

In addition, defenses can now return blocked extra points or turnovers on the two-point conversions for two points themselves. Previously, the play would be ruled dead after a turnover.

The rule changes are drawing varied opinions from all across league circles. Browns special teams coordinator Chris Tabor was the latest to weigh in on the subject Wednesday on Cleveland Browns Daily.

When the rule change was originally discussed, Tabor said he was against it because the swirling Cleveland winds late in the season make this type of kick much more difficult, then, say, at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.
