I'm interested to see how all the permutations of this exchange work out. They've certainly inserted more risk into the play.

Any kick that hits short of the landing zone –
treated like kickoff out of bounds and ball spotted at 40 yard line; play would be blown dead as soon as kick lands short of the landing zone
