If they try to get too precise with it, they're either gonna short it and give up a big run back or just kick it into the EZ anyway.

Time will tell, though.
I think so. Besides if they get it OOB, it's just another 5 yards

15 - ball goes to the 40 on OOB.

At this point, I'd almost be fine with that if that's where we're gonna end up. Not sure how you handle onside kicks, though.
I would be fine with getting rid of the onside kick as well.

Doh! I misread the OP as 35. I have no idea WTF I was reading.

Yeah, I can't imagine a 5 yard change is going to make a lick of difference in decision making.

Punters are getting better at what they do, why not kickers? With the PAT distance increased too this makes kickers even more valuable which is exactly against what makes football, football.
