The old kickoffs were the most boring play in football. Even the touchdown returns were go to the sideline and run in a straight line. It’s not like punt returns where you get actual highlights. The play was boring and dangerous. I applaud them for trying to be innovative with it.
Illegal procedures actually put it at the 40. But I agree. If they want more kick returns, move where they kick off from. Now where the touchback is spotted. Why would teams return it and risk a fumble if they can just kneel or let it go and get the ball at the 35.
