Re: Should icing the kicker be banned?
The rule won't be changed for at least the rest of this year.....
BUT...what you will see, and have already seen some teams doing is coaching their special teams to have the LS put his head down earlier, not directly based on when the snap is imminent, along with having blind snaps as opposed to the holder signalling the snap.
That will make it much tougher for coaches to call timeouts directly prior to the snap....and they'll have to get awfully lucky, otherwise they call them too early and no kick is sent off, or too late, and the TO doesn't count.
