Yes, it's fucked up. I heard Steve Shaw explaining the rule, it ONLY applies to one hoppers, the one's intentionally driven in to the ground for a big hop. It's somewhat of a judgement call, but yeah it eliminates the type of onside kick that we all know is coming, but it doesn't change the the rule on the surprise squib kick.
By the way, nobody much talking about it, but I think the helmet coming off rule is going to have to adverse, game changing effect on some games. If the helmet comes off and it's not due to a foul, then the player who loses the helmet has to come off the field for a play. I can imagine a few key plays minus key players changing games.
