This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I wonder if they kick touchbacks in practice? by JBrock18
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
