I love the game but have to admit that with the unprecedented speed, size and strength of players today, runbacks are huge injury risks. Put the ball on the 20 and every kick will be returned. Teams will come up with ways of raising the brutality to all new levels.
I'd rather the NFL experimented with eliminating kickoffs and having teams simply start from a particular yardline. How about a choice? Start at the 30 or take the kickoff.
