The point is to be entertained by the game. The added entropy/chaos will add value, IMO.
Agree something has to be done, but adding a new format that is complicated to understand and in need of heavy scrutiny for the million possible violations doesn't sound like the answer.

Why not kick off from your own thirty-five but have the kicking team line up at the opponent's thirty, with the returning team lined up at their own twenty? All kicks must be returned. That reduces the distance between blockers and would-be tacklers, reducing the violence of the collisions. Also, starting from the opponents' thirty with blockers only ten yards away reduces the speed potential tacklers can attain.

Seems simple enough, and workable.
