Why are we returning kickoffs? The only time it makes sense is when the ball is on the ground and is not going to get into the end zone. If you don't touch it, you're at the 25 yard line. 75 yards away from paydirt. We tried twice last night and didn't get to the 25 and once started at the 5. Plus, you risk a penalty or even worse, an injury. The chance of a long return is not worth the inherent risk.
