In 1976, when encroachment came and offside went on scrimmage downs, I - being a wide-eved
wingman - was happy. No more did we have to decide if Bubba's (B) tap-dance into the neutral zone caused Tugboat (A) to flinch
.
In 1977, when encroachment came and offside went on free-kicks, I just nodded
and moved on.
I like being happy, so I'd be opposed to a change on scrimmage downs.
I like doing away with re-kicks, which really occurs when the kick becomes a dead ball as contact may occur.
In 2019, I would nod and move on if offside came back on free kicks.
