sounds like the Bills should ditch some of those special teams only guys in favor of extra OL and TEs that can block and defenders with speed that can shed and tackle

Bill Belichick says the NFL’s new kickoff rule, which will see 10 players on the kicking team and nine players on the return team lined up five yards apart, will lead teams to prioritize size over speed on special teams.

 

“There will be more of an emphasis on size players in the return game than speed,” Belichick said on the Pat McAfee Show. “You just need guys who can play at the point of attack, shed blocks and defend their space because of the new alignment. So I think it will increase the size of the players that are on the field. And I do think that because everybody is spread across the field, if these returners, if they hit a little bit of space, they’re gone.”

Several teams would take Luck as there starter

only the NFL would ship teams thousands of miles to a place where they can't wear their colors

The Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers will be heading down to Brazil later this year to get their season started in São Paulo. 

 

However, now there's some question as to what uniforms the two teams will wear because they're scheduled to play in a stadium that has an informal ban on the color green.

Quote

Uniforms were designed after a two-year process that included input from more than 10,000 fans along with ownership and players.

 

Designed by committee.  That always works out well.
