Should be easy for kicker to get his own onside kick

This is better than no returns at all but worse than kicking off from the 30 before legislating the wedge out of kickoff returns.

No surprise onside kicks. You can do one if you notify the refs and the other team

Sounds a lot more entertaining. Current format is a huge waste of everyone's time.

Current kickoff rule sucks, so let's replace it with something gay.

Just leave the game alone or start a new sport. Football is no longer what it was. Afraid of injury suits? Make 'em sign waivers. They get paid a ton.

This will result on more return TD's. Somehow people just love the grand tradition of nothing but touchbacks the last few years.

If they hadn’t made this change the only other option was to just place the ball at the 25 and start the game. Nothing but touchbacks was horrible

Yes. It doesn't really bother me though with the size, speed and athleticism of athletes these days something had to give. It's still a decent football play.

Stupid, do not like it. Stick with tradition.

PeleofAnalytics•23 months

Tradition means 17% of annual concussions are on special team plays. Sure special teams account for about 20% of plays in a game but more than half of those are touchbacks or OB kicks so special team plays with actual contact only account for about 10% of all plays in a game. So the number of concussions during returned kicks are about double the rate of a normal play. That is a lot of extra brain damage to keep you happy.

Interesting so the old strategy of “surprising’ an opponent with an onside kick is done. While it didn’t happen often it was always something that had to be accounted for by the receiving team.
