I propose we merge both kickoff returner and punt returner into this page. While I'm aware that not every punt returner is also a kickoff returner and vice-versa, I think both articles' contents can be explained in this one page. There's really nothing that could be said on either page that couldn't also be said here. Lizard (talk) 22:11, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I made the shift article. Motion and shift are pretty distinct, as the person who made the motion article tried to tease out, and I wouldn't think "pre snap movement" deserves an article. A shift changes the formation, a motion is one dude flowing within a formation. You won't ever hear a receiver roaming called a shift, and you won't hear any of the historical shifts listed called a motion. My dogmatism there aside, I agree it should be gone over. I've tried to repair it in various ways. Cake (talk) 10:16, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I went ahead and merged. It's only my second or third time merging articles so it's possible I left something behind. I also removed some obvious peacocks and weasels and added reference tags. Lizard (talk) 01:27, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
