Well, with the first down rule, I imagine that, as usual, they are trying to make the games shorter. ( I would mention that it also brings it closer to the pro rules, but they don't really care about that )

I guess it never occured to them to get rid of a TV timeout..... or 10..... instead of some of the classic finishes helped by the old rule.

The kickoff rule, I really don't get. It'll save little time, and only have a real effect once in a blue moon, at the end of halfs in close games.
