I would change it so that there was a difference between safeties conceded and safeties earned by sacking the ball carrier. conceded should grant better field position for your team. I think that overall the number of points (2) is fine to stay, but if you make it so the team gets a benefit to take the cowards way out then you can really talk about how a team should have been more coward like.
An another aspect I think really should be changed is kickoffs. Penalize the kicking team for kicking the ball out of bounds. This could be either through the end zone, or if it goes out the side. The point is to get a run back attempt. make it so they have to kick it in bounds. Maybe if it bounces out something could happen, but stretch the field back to the end of the endzone. What if it rolls out the back means the recieving team gets to start on their goal line? They will pull players back to make sure they run it out and that means easier on side kicks. Exciting plays!
