Under this proposed rule the kickers will be practicing the exact play that would have precipitated an enormous discussion in the last Superbowl. After Edelmen caught a Fair catch at the 35 yard line with 3 seconds left, under an somewhat obscure rule, Belichick could have attempted a Free Kick.
Under Free Kick rules no one can rush the kicker and he can try a low trajectory kick unimpeded by any blockers. Ghost could have tried a kick through the uprights as a Free Kick Field Goal from 75 yards away. Had it been successful the Pats would have won in regulation.
This would have engendered a controversy at least equal to the infamous Tuck Rule play.
It would have been FRIGGIN' AWESOME!! I will go to my grave wishing Belichick had attempted it.
