Seems like you get some major collisions on punts with gunners coming full speed into the return man.  Football is a violent sport, watering it down too much is going to change the game and maybe how fans perceive it.If kickoffs are eliminated and there is no adjustment for the possibility of an onside kick type situation, the Sport loses one of the more exciting situations of a potential comeback at the end of a game.I guess the fair catch rule is potentially the happy median.  The onside kick can still happen and if a team feels kick returns are dangerous, they will just tell their returners to always signal for a FC.</blockquote>
