The team can then choose to punt or go for it, via fake punt or otherwise.
In other words, the kickoff would be replaced with the punt, and the onside kick would be replaced with a fourth-down conversion roughly half the distance of Ray Rice’s recent catch-and-run.
Article also says the idea came from Tampa Bay Head Coach, Greg Schiano. ****ing new guy...

There is no way that happens...
Punt, KO, whatever - I really don't have a problem with that...
but the onside kick is worrisome, it's MUCH easier to gain 15 yards on a play than recover an onside kick.
Onside kicks are supposed to be last minute desperation and almost never work...
