The idea is that instead of a kickoff, after scoring a team would get the ball 4th and 15 on their own 30. So teams would pretty much punt from there every time, unless they were down late and needed the ball back, in which case that 4th and 15 would become the "new" onside kick.
Thoughts? I'm guessing this isn't going to be very popular as it's a very drastic change, but I wouldn't mind it. Don't get me wrong -- I'd rather keep the kickoffs, but if they're going to get rid of them eventually anyway, this doesn't seem like a horrible alternative to me.
Some people will argue to just give the opposing team the ball at their own 20 and be done with it. In my opinion, no, no, NO. There HAS to be a way for a team to get the ball back after they score. Otherwise you remove a very exciting late game element from the game.
