I know that there are always going to be some that complain about rule changes, but with that said:

I like of the idea of instead of doing a kickoff you have a punt. Or rather, you treat it as, say, 4th and 5 from the 30 yard line so the team can go for it if they want. The yard line and down distance can be tweaked as needed.

For something even more contrived, I think it would be interesting if it starts out as 4th and one. If the "kick off" team ever converts fourth down instead of punting, then the next kick off goes to 4th and 5 and then maybe it goes to 4th and ten and stays there for any more attempts.

It would make it easier to have comebacks and make for a more interesting decision.
