Not to say it's a huge concern IMO but the penalty would be extra costly here. |

Are these comments based on the idea that after a score there would be some sort of 4th down and not just the other team getting the ball at the 20? where did that come from? |

If you score a FG or TD, you kick the ball to the other team...currently... the proposed alternative from Roger Goodell is instead of kicking off, the team whom scored retains the ball on the 30 yard line on a 4th and 15 situation to which they can go for it (simulating the opportunity of an onsides kick) or they can elect to Punt the ball. |

Based on the injury stats for punt and kickoff plays posted earlier in the thread, what the hell would this idea accomplish? |
