No matter how you set it up, you're always relying on the luck of the bounce. The only problem that I have is that they tried that play after presumably never attempting it on grass like that. On field turf, that may have been exactly the right power to kick it at.
That was the most pathetic attempt of an onside kick I've ever witnessed lol.
There's a big difference between "luck" in recovering an onside kick and the completely shanking the kick all together. That was just a terrible play, they had no chance to even recover and picked up a penalty to boot.
But with a better bounce, does that ball travel the full 10 yards? It's impossible to know, but the way it just landed there, I have to think a better bounce gives a much better result, and that bounce isn't something that any kicker can completely control.
