I'm trying to see something and would like more footage.
I was tempted to randomly look at some D leagues... but even a level 1 kicker kicks better than what i want to see.

I'm talking about people completely out of position and with about 8 kicking... and, ideally, fast.

Something comparable to this:

I just think that this replay is much clearer than others, for looking at the way these plays work, and would love to be shown where I could find more of 'em.

So it's hardcoded that nobody on the return team but the returner can pick it up?

I wonder if the sim knows the right rules for the kickoff team grabbing it first.

Again, I'm pretty certain that the coverage guys won't know enough to pick the ball up.
Look how a lot of them freeze and wait for the kick returner to get the ball.

I don't think they recognise it as a "live ball" until after the returner gets his hands on it, tbh.
...the same reason that none of the blockers even think about picking the ball up.

Nope, don't think at all that this can be used to get an "onside kick."
Everyone else is welcomed to try that... but I think you'd be wasting your time, tbh.

Exactly. I think it would be a waste of time to try and get an "onside kick" out of this (as I think it looks like it's the same for the coverage team).
...still, I would like to see any other replays out there, if they exist.

I do think the plays are good for knowledge, tbh.

Yup, was busy watching the return team miss the ball.

Nobody can get it.

Kicker can run really fast to get it?
Someone try a WR in a scrim should they do

I think the kicker actually just runs straight because that's his 'lane' and would run right past the ball if given the chance and if the return guy still wasn't up to the ball, tbh.

Interesting to test.

You've never heard of the 23 yard onside kick attempt?

Seen 'em in games, tbh.
Tend to be to the "opposite side" of the field where the coverage team is least expecting a kick to go.
