coach of Buccaneers proposes this idea:

"after a touchdown or field goal, instead of kicking off, a team would get the ball on its own 30-yard line, where it's fourth-and-15. The options are either to go for it and try to retain possession, or punt. If you go for it and fall short, the opposing team would take over with good field position. In essence, punts would replace kickoffs, and punts are less susceptible to violent collisions than kickoffs."

that's ridiculous because it's still a kickoff situation in essence so if anything, players will rock the receivers just as hard anyway

I understand and am strongly in favor of the league protecting the players, but at the same time, every player on the field knows the risk they take when they walk out there. You can't possibly make football completely safe. It wouldn't be football anymore. May as well have Ray Lewis out there playing badminton with Patrick Willis.

Football is not football at all since they mostly use their hands

I'd rather get tackled off a kickoff than a punt. A lot of punt receivers get smashed without even knowing it's coming because they're looking for the ball. At least on a kickoff I'd already have the ball in-hand and be able to put up a fight.

Or you could have players stop trying to intentionally injure the opposing team...

A lot of it is accidental but there are some who are trying to do some damage.
