That’s a huge unintended side effect of the new rules. They’ve effectively killed the onside kick as a viable option.

There needs to be a way to make on-side kicks more frequently successful. Maybe

Why? Seems like you are penalizing the team who has been playing better

I’m not saying make it 50/50...just more than 1/12 or whatever the odds are now.

It should be long odds, imo

I think they should have done an onside kick.

I think coaches just need to be more creative

Maybe make it like the nba where all you have to do is call timeout and you can

Since the rule changes to make kick off safer it’s had a huge impact. From 24%

Perhaps back up the receiving team 5 yards since kicking team no longer running

Ready for crazy talk. Here you go. First, you have to declare onside kick. 2nd,

Or maybe if within one score, an option to have your players not be offside on

Or you can opt to have the ball at your 25yrd line with a 4th and 10 situation.

That’s an actual idea the competition committee is reviewing
