2. When you score a TD or FG and the opposing team incurs a personal foul penalty for 15 yards, it moves your kickoff to mid field. Instead of skying the ball out of the endzone (which unbelievably happens 98% of the time), the kicking team should either attempt a traditional onside kick OR should float the kickoff as high as possible (maybe even opting for a punt if that's legal) trying to get it to come down at the 3 yard line and giving you a shot to pin the returning team inside the 10 yard line. If punting is legal I can see a scenario where the return man kind of panics and calls for a fair catch inside the 5.

The Patriots are the only team I know of that is kicking it short with the new rules. Granted, the argument has been made it's messed with Ghost's accuracy though
