It's still a slight advantage for the team with the ball, but now they have to go about 55-60 yards to try a long FG. But they are also in a tough spot if they should go 3 and out and or take a penalty somewhere in the sequance. Teams with strong defenses might even opt to start on defense trying to gain the field position if they should stop them. Then most likely 10-15 yards for them (after the punt) would put them in position for their own FG attempt.

I have never seen this mentioned before. Great idea.
