And on a kickoff, except in an extreme situation (like our offense can't do anything and we're desperate) i want a touch back...But that is more about your lack of faith in Jojo. If we had a better returner (which hopefully is found for this upcoming season) you would probably feel differently. Its time to get a weapon back there.

Heres their solution.https://www.si.com/.amp/nfl/2020/01/07/ ... -full-listTHE KICKOFFOn the kickoff, 10 players from the receiving team will line up on their own 30-yard line. The kick coverage team lines up five yards away on the 35-yard line. Both teams are required to have three players outside the hashmarks on each side and four between the hashmarks. The close proximity of the two teams is intended to limit the high-speed collisions that contribute the number of concussions that occur on kickoffs. The kicker kicks the ball from his own 25-yard line. The kick must travel at least as far as the opponent’s 20-yard line. Neither the coverage team nor the blockers may move until either the ball is caught or three seconds after it hits the ground. A kick that hits the ground between the 20-yard line and the goal line and then bounces out of the end zone or is downed in the end zone will result in the receiving team taking possession at its 15-yard line. A kick that travels into the end zone in the air and is downed will be deemed a “major” touchback and the receiving team will take possession at the 35. Teams will have to declare ahead of time if they wish to attempt an onside kick, which will be attempted using NFL rules. GO RAMS !!! GO DODGERS !!!
