NFL - New kickoff rules

I watched the "Hall of Fame Game" last night; at least until it got rained out with 3 minutes left in the third quarter.

The new rule is supposed to promote returns. Off to a bad start;
not one of eight kickoffs made it past the 32 yard line.
A "twelfth man" on the kickoff team holds the ball for the kicker
then runs off the field. The kicking team lines up at the forty and the return team at the thirty-five. The ball is supposed to land in the "landing zone" between the goal line and the twenty.
Nobody else moves until the ball lands or is caught.
There will never be a turnover on a muffed kick; the returner will have
plenty of time to retrieve the ball. This is supposed to be a one year experiment. I hope it dies.

If they wanna see returns, they should adopt UFL Kickoff rules.
