    I'm guessing kickers would mutiny considering their pay would take a hit.

    If they were going to do the 4pt field goal then i think they should get rid of the extra point and make teams go for two.

    What if we made the extra point worth 2pts if it was kicked from 60 yards out?

    I’d be willing to give a team a point if they would go back to the old traditional kickoff.

    That would be interesting, take away going for two, teams would have the option to kick a 30 yarder for 1 or a 60 yarder for 2.

    Personally, I would do away with the extra point kick, and put the ball at the 1 1/2 yard line for 1 point.
    And spot it at the 2yard line or so for 2points.

    I only think it's a bad idea because then You are trying again to take out a part of football. The Special Teams, and the Special Teams has always been apart of football for as long as I can remember.

    If the OL is blocking down and the defender turns and gives him his back, I don't think the OL should be penalized for that.

    Instead of 1 point for an XP, they lose -1 point for missing. Hell, any FG missed from inside 25 yards, take -3 points and then take the kicker under the stands and kick their ass.

    Of course the DL is going to turn, the Qb is running past them, they have to pursue. That would be like saying when a RB goes by the Wr, he can just reach out, and push the CB into the back, and get him out of the way. It the same thing.
