The one suggestion I have heard in the last year or so that come closest to hitting the sweet spot of removing kickoffs without the general idea of a kickoff is that the kicking team would be given the ball on their 30 yard line with one down and 15 yards to go to retain possession. This would encourage punting (which is inherently safer than kickoffs) while retaining the option of rolling the dice and trying to go for it. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
