NFL to reportedly reconsider possibility of implementing wild onside kick idea that was originally shot down

[RaminExile]

It's supposed to be a free kick not a scrimmage play. They're altering the game too much. How about re-implementing onsides kick rules that worked just fine for years and years and stop screwing up the game.

Theres just too much common sense in this post for the league to adopt anything like it...

So they can score on the kickoff (with a fumble). Alternatively, what if it bounced before the end zone but was recovered by the kicking team in the end zone? I believe there's no other way to end that but with a score. If it bounced, for the sake of argument, at the 2 yard line then went in the end zone. If it was then recovered by the kicking team in the end zone, what else could you do with it besides say the kicking team score. It wouldn't be a touch back because it's a live ball once it hits the ground. You can't spot it anywhere else because where would you and why? Even if we have to say, again for the sake of argument, that it hit the ground and then bounced off the leg of a receiving team player, them went into the end zone and was recovered by the kicking team. Didn't get advanced, just recovered in the end zone after becoming a live ball. Score, right?
