I appreciate the details on the kickoffs and how it will help.
My post was more about why they really need to do the 4th and 20 from their own 20 yard line option as an alternative to the now, basically useless onside kick. first off starting at the 20 means even if the kickoff team get the 20 yards, they are most likely still starting the next drive on their side of the field, which is exactly what happened on an onsite recovery around the 45 yard line.
and 2nd, because the stats say that even at 4th and 15, teams are converting at basically 2-in-9 tries. 4th and 20 puts them more in the 1-in-9 conversion level. which again, is much closer to the pre-2018 rule change numbers.
its supposed to be hard, unlikely even because even after getting the onside, the recovery team still has to go 15-55 yards in a very short period to tie or win. but right now, with only a 5% chance just to recover the onside, that means you only have like a 2.5% chance to win with 2 scores needed under a min. the old way you had more like a 5% chance. meaning the 2 score comeback under 1 min happened like 2-3 times a year.
