The official rule of real football is that you get to choose to kick off or punt, a punt isn't automatic, so this suggestion is simply half of what would make it real.
In the NFL, teams punt, because punts are returned for TDs at a lower % than kick offs are. In GLB, punts are returned for TDs at a higher % than kickoffs are, I'd rather keep it like it is.
Also, if you want to make the rule more like real life, should the kick/punt be from the 20 yard line?
It's a "free kick," that being one with no tee. So, to kick off would require a holder, taking one out of the coverage team. That's why most teams punt.
