Will they consider the onside kick an actual possession? If you don't recover it it's the same as a regular kickoff, just much shorter, no?

2) rex ryan said if he won the coin flip in OT he would:
kick off, have his D get a stop, then go down the field and kick a field goal for the win. this may very well be the best coaching strategy i have heard re. the new OT rules.

that's pretty much what teams do now if they get the chance, must be nice to just command a stop by the D
