Onside kicks aren't used much anyways and teams usually know they are going to do them anyways so I am not too concerned about that but the new tackling rules and the kickoff rules I am not a fan of.

The Donkeys did a surprise onside kick to open the season against the Raiders. They did not successfully recover it.

Interestingly enough the Raiders, 49ers and Packers were the only teams to vote against it. 49ers and Packers Special Teams were awful last year. Don't know how the Raiders fared.

That's surprising to me. The Raiders might have the best kicker in the league. Touchbacks are more punitive now, so maybe they wanted to continue just booting it out of the back of the end zone.

That's something the Broncos would do.
