NFL Removing Kickoffs?

They should adopt the CFL rule, where teams have the option of recieving a kickoff or taking the ball at like the 35 yd line but only after a field goal not touchdowns.

They already did that.
 
There are currently 1,186 ex-players currently involved in law suits suing the league over concussion or head trauma related injuries. There are some very recognizable names on these law suits too. There is compelling evidence showing the NFL knew the dangers of concussions to the brain & did very little about it until now.

It's interesting to see Don Beebe's name below because I remember the hut he took from Rod Woodson in his Steeler days. He got knocked out in mid air. I knew the moment I saw it he was out like a light. I don't see Mark Rypien's name below or Jim MaMahon's. I know they're both suing the league too.

It will be sad to see kick offs be eliminated. I wonder how soon it will happen. Here are about 184 names (out of the 1,186);

at a whole thread of people ignoring why the NFL is trying to implement all these safety measures all of a sudden. They're getting their pants sued off.
