I think there's somewhere around 30,000 plays in an NFL season (60x16x32).
There were 10 kickoffs returned for a TD in 2011.
The game will be ok without those 10 plays.
And if it replaces them with punt returns, you probably wouldn't lose anything. There were more punts returned for TD's than kickoffs returned.

Forgetting the actual kickoff, replacing it with a fourth down option is a joke. As mentioned, one bad call and you have a first down. If you are ****ing desperate to remove the KO then stick it on the 25 or something. Don't add this joke of a gimmick.
