Kansas City Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub had a strong reaction to Donald Trump\u2019s latest comments about the NFL\u2019s new kickoff rule. Trump has criticized the rule many times, most recently calling it \u201cterrible\u201d on \u201cThe Pat McAfee Show.\u201d<\/p>\n
Toub did not hold back when reporters asked him about the criticism. He said Trump \u201cdoesn\u2019t even know what he\u2019s looking at\u201d and has \u201cno idea\u201d how the new kickoff rule works. He added that he hopes Trump hears what he said.<\/p>\n
A clip of Toub\u2019s comments spread quickly online. Former Chiefs star Tyreek Hill noticed it and said he loved it. Hill played for Kansas City from twenty sixteen to twenty twenty one and worked closely with Toub when he was a returner early in his career.<\/p>\n
Toub has been the Chiefs\u2019 special teams coordinator since twenty thirteen and became an associate head coach in twenty eighteen.<\/p>\n
Trump shared his complaints during a Veterans Day special. He said the rule hurts the \u201cpageantry\u201d of football and does not make the game safer because players still collide. He has also called the rule \u201csissy football.\u201d<\/p>\n
But not everyone agrees with him. During Thursday Night Football, Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit praised the rule after Buffalo Bills returner Ray Davis ran a kickoff back ninety seven yards for a touchdown. The NFL says the new system has led to more returns while also improving player safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
