GREEN BAY, Wis. -- If Mike McCarthy is having a hard time deciding how to approach kickoffs this season with the new experimental touchback rule, the Green Bay Packers coach might want to consider kicker Mason Crosby's out-of-the-box idea.
“I have a suggestion: Why don’t we just onside kick every time?” Crosby joked during an interview on ESPN Milwaukee’s “Green & Gold Today” last week. “But I don’t know if that’s going to be the case.”
NFL owners voted in March to move touchbacks on kickoffs from the 20- to the 25-yard line on a one-year trial basis.
