    is identical to Goodell's.
    I thought his was, two options punt or in place of an onside kick you can line up under center and go 4th and 15th. Maybe I need to reread it?

    Also, I am pretty sure the odds of recovering an onsides kick is well below 20% now, probably closer to 10% (not counting surprise onsides). There have been two recent rule changes that have decreased the odds of recovery. One you can no longer overload one side of the ball as the kicking team. And two, your players can only be a maximum of 5 yards behind the ball when it is kicked, i.e. smaller running starts, slower speed going forward at kickoff.
    If you went to the 4th-&-15/20 punt-or-try change-of-possession scenario, there should be no onside-kick provision, & as in a regular punt the ball should not be live until touched by the receiving team. Dunno about current ball-kicked-off-out-of-bounds rules--you might want to keep those to increase the probability of a returnable kick.

    Well, as is being debated by others, there is no difference between a normal punt or try a 4th and 15 in terms of options. They are both the same as a normal 4th and 15; you can go for it or regular punt.

    As for free kick "punt" after a safety, etc, that actually is a live ball (when kicked after a safety), but it can be fair caught just like a kickoff that does not first bounce off the ground. Not sure what people are talking about in some instances they are saying "punt" here.

    Under Goodell's proposal, the punt would be a play from scrimmage, not a free kick. If your "Why not move to punts period" isn't describing a play from scrimmage, then you're describing a free kick, as in after a safety. Nobody's going to run a fake off a free kick to try to gain 15 yards. Maybe it would help if you'd be more specific about your "punt" scenario, since you don't seem to be talking about the same procedure as most of us.
