I wonder if they kick touchbacks in practice?

It’s what he’s insinuating isn’t it? This brings about some questions. If they do, why don’t they do it in the games? If they do in practice, does it minimize the time the coverage team gets to work on covering kicks? I know when I was playing in college we had about 5 minutes each day during the season practicing kickoff at rapid fire. At times the coaches would have to tell the kicker not to kick it too deep. We also practiced intentional high pooch kicks to the 15 yard line or so. It’s a weak bail out blaming the kicker but I would like to know if they do routinely kick touchbacks in practice but struggle in games. We had a punter in college who was amazing in practice but was awful in games. I wonder if this could be the case at times with Doerr
