The idea in the article is absurd. Who in their rite mind would ever start a game going for it on 4th and 15 at their own 30? Would make punters ultra important though. I like the way it is now - more safe than before but still some returns. If you are going to do away with kickoffs than just do a coinflip, and the winning team can choose to play offense or defense. If you choose offense you start at the twenty. Its basically how most games / drives begin anyway.
