Ok it's getting insane now. There needs to be an investigation. No one can kick a ball anymore.

All the kids growing up who want to be QBs and WRs and EDGE rushers but I'm saying practice placekicking because we can't find 32 good ones in this entire country and you'll have lifelong job security

Fred Cox, besides being a successful chiropractor, invented the Nerf football. The kids should learn straight-on kicking.

Unless it's from beyond the 50. They're still on a record pace for attempts and accuracy.

Dunno man I'm seeing some regular ass kicks and extra points doink more than ever. I wonder if there's some change in the mechanics for hitting big kicks that they're practicing more than the shorter ones. I don't know anything about kicking. But it's crazy

Once this week is over, it'll be easier to do the season-long extrapolations off of the third chart here. I'm just not sure if it's updated at all for this week's games yet, but I've been tracking for FF purposes since the early explosion of deep FGs.
