    Can you onside kick a free kick?

    If so why wouldn't you just take a safety in some cases instead of punting?

    Safeties result in points for the opposing team.

    Obviously.....but there's some scenarios where you should take the safety if pinned back IF you could onside kick one

    I don't think you can though

    Because they would need two TD's instead of a TD and a FG.

    Yes you can and it has been tried before. The Dolphins even recovered an "onside punt" once.

    Nope. It is the exact same rules as a kick-off, except for the tee.
