    I like the rule change. This will increase the amount of kickoffs returned, which should lead to more action. Also incentivizes kickers to be accurate instead of just kicking the ball as hard as they can on kickoff.

    I do wish that they had changed the onside kick rules though. I think the XFL’s 4th and 15 rule is solid since its actual football instead of people just scrambling to recover a fumble.

      Gotta disagree on the onside kick part. I think giving the offense a down is just going to end up farming under thrown DPI, holding, any play that has a decent chance to generate an automatic 1st down for the offense.
