is moving them up one yard supposed to replace a running start to get 10 yds faster?
These rule changes are pathetic & I dont see how that will help the pct. In fact if they get more chances at Onside kick since they dont have to wait for 4th qtr. The pct will probably go down. Not up.
let onside kicks be the way they were before all this dumbassery. Its a specialty play now that has to be reported before trying. So you arent gonna fake onside kick. No one was getting injured on an onside kick. The NFL loves overthinking stupidity.

All this talk of re-seeding and doing away with the tush push and making insides kicks easier to recover....the NFL isn't broke, so dont fix it

Problem with the onsides kick is that they messed with the standard kickoff in the first place (and continue to mess with it more every year it seems). Can/will they go back to the original model? Probably not, as they are pretending to care about player safety.

I think the one yard might be another demarcation that it is indeed on onsides kick and not a standard kickoff. The overall alignment would do that, but I can't think of another valid reason?

Not to mention his replacement had only a handful of sacks in his entire college career.
Yeah, Id say he is closer to a high upside project than a replcement
