As others have said it is ridiculous that the kickoffs were moved forward because of player safety. If big hits are really what the NFL want to prevent why even make it a possibility? Eliminate the KO all together. The justification makes no sense.

And yes, give points to the kicker if he kicks it through the uprights on a kickoff. Kind of a ridiculous way to get points, so it should be worth half of a PAT. But since we as Americans don't like decimals and we value point spreads, double the value of each scoring play. KO FGs =1; PATs=2;SAF-4; FGs=6; TDs=12.
