What sounds better? Kick it out of the end zone or land it on the 1?

[Xenomorph]

Where we stand on this important question?

Depends on the hang time. But if it’s good hang time they will just fair catch it. So just kick it out of the end zone.

I've seen enough ****** kick coverage in my life. If you kick it out the back, you know 100% that they won't score or have plus field position.

100% out of the back.

 

[Junction John]

You would just kick it through the uprights every time to show off*

 

[Smoked Toag]

For 'have-not' teams with lesser depth, your goal should be to remove special teams from the equation as much as possible. You need to spend your effort on your kickers and punters rather than coverage. Therefore, kick it out the back. Angle your punts.

If it goes out the back of end zone it comes out to the 25. If you kick it to them they will either call fair catch and it come out to the 25 or they try to return it and when that happens they seldom get past the 20.

Not sure if I still have it.

I'm gonna zag here and say try and land it on the 1 with good hang time. There has to be a little market inefficiency to leverage by forcing kick returners to make quick decisions that they don't get a lot of reps making. I'm not smart enough to know how to do it, but it surely there is a way.

Generally kick it out of the end zone. But if you're needing something to happen - say it's 4th quarter, we just hit a FG to get within 10 - 14. Maybe then you try to kick it short and hope to pin them deep, force a 3 & out and get the ensuing punt around your 45.

But that's going to be pretty rare - and we probably screw up and kick it out of bounds.

Put the 17er through the uprights.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

This is the answer. I have a kicker who can place it between the 5 and 10 with good hang time, or put it in the endzone. Endzone 100% of the time because of what you said. If ONE guy does not do his job it can be 98 and out the gate. In our jamboree we kicked it to around the 5 yard line and had great cover except for one guy who did the complete opposite of what he was coached and they ran it to mid field.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

I'll take a 100% guarantee that they don't get a TD or good field position rather than a chance they don't get it to the 25.

 

[thekimmer]

Kick it through the endzone. Less chance of injuries. 0 chance of a big return. Likely to return it to at least the 20 anyway.

 

[Dawg_4_lifes]

Back of the endzone. Take away that part of the game.

Agreed - 100% absolutely a fact. Kick it out the back and let your defense do what they do. Too many block in the back calls get missed and it could mean 6 pts for the other team.
Note: No one lets Tulu get a shot. That should tell you something.
