Watch out for the Steelers - Justin Fields returning kicks?

Thus far the Browns have spoke about the new kickoff return as if it's this impossible to predict new rule.  That is confusing to me because the NFL have basically taken the XFL's kickoff rules and tweaked it.  Bubba Ventrone can watch every kickoff in XFL history and I hope he has.

Meanwhile here is a prediction.   The Steelers will win at least one more game this upcoming season by making a few big plays on kickoffs.  Talk of Justin Fields on the kickoff return team is one sure sign that at a bare minimum, the Steelers are thinking outside the box.

It should not be that hard to envision what the Steelers are thinking.   They invested in Cordarrelle Patterson as a kick returner.   If the Steelers are thinking about pairing him with Justin Fields it demonstrates that the Steelers understand the nuances of this new play.

Since kick placement can make it extremely difficult to make a big play on a kickoff return by placing the ball in a corner and affording the kickoff team the opportunity to focus their tacklers in an area, make sure one of your returners can pass the ball accurately.
