Punt/Kick returns are exciting plays and I do miss them now that they're extremely rare - but for the sake of player safety I can accept it because that's obviously more important.

As for onside kicks, I feel like it's just not many teams get too inventive with them. I feel like a lot of the successful attempts are where the kicking team adds an unusual wrinkle to it other than just "kick it where everyone expects and hope for a weird hop" but maybe analytics proves I'm wrong here and that really is the most successful method? I'm not sure the sample size is really high enough to bear any conclusion out but yeah.
