    A kick return can make or break a game, whether these clowns know it or not.

    It gives a team a chance to pin a team deep, a chance at recovering a fumble, and a chance for a team to get good field position.

    So many variables that make kickoffs a thing that needs to remain as is.

    Maybe... it could be made an option for the "receiving" team. Just start at the determined yardline or opt to receive a kickoff.

    What they should be getting rid of is penalties that have no bearing on the play and just drag the game on.

    Kickoffs can create exciting plays and like @Titanup1982 mentioned change the game

    Disagree, then players will be taking cheap shots behind the play with the intent to injure. This might be one of the dumbest suggestions I've read on this board. No offense ;)

    But if you're not going to flag a blocking in the back on the other side of the field because it has no bearing on the game, guys will find a way to *accidentally* do it to injure.

    they're boring. most of the time they sail out the endzone. They're just there to waste time and throw in more commercials. People get injured on them often.

    Kickoffs suck.

    I hope A&M runs a kickoff back to win a game and it gets called back on a bogus penalty.
