Rule change will force Chargers to adjust, not overhaul

+

In March, teams voted to limit wedge formations on kickoff returns to a maximum of two players. The NFL’s Competition Committee recommended the change because they believed four- and five-man wedges have produced too many injuries over the years. Under Crosby, who has overseen San Diego’s kicking game since 2002, the Chargers have primarily used two- and three-man wedges. They’ll no longer be allowed to use three players to form the wedge, but Crosby anticipates a smooth transition.
