Goodell considering doing away with kickoffs

I also think there should be different scoring for varying lengths of FGs.

Why would you want to reward a team for not getting close to the endzone?

Raiders would just have Janikowki boot it from 50 every drive.

That is not it at all.

I think it would be interesting if FGs of over 55 yards were worth 4 pts.

And FGs of less than 25 yards would be worth only 2.

FGs and XP totals configured to yardage from the goal line.

1-9: 1 point for kick, two points for a touched down.
10-20: 2 points for both kick and touch.
21-29: 3 points for both
30-39: 4 points for both
40-49: 5 points for both
50+: 6 points.

Reason you adjust the points for a "2pt conversion" is that it leaves fake FGs as a viable strategy, possibly opens up for rugby-esque type runs or more hook and lateral plays.
