Why bother even having kickoffs? (bleacherreport.com)

Why bother even having kickoffs if every kick is just going to sail out the endzone with no possibility of a return, or trying to pin the opposition deep? It was bad week 1, and bad again here in week 2.

Just start out from the 25 and be done with kickoffs/returns entirely, instead of this farce. “Stopgap” excuse be damned.

Let's have some chaos. Move the kicking spot back five yards, penalize a touchback the same as out of bounds unless it bounces first in the field of play, and to make it interesting, a field goal on a kickoff should be worth two points.
