'“Personally, I’ve always look at it like: I don’t get control of where I kick from on the field or what the game situation is at the time,” Schmidt said. “So I just try to hit the best ball for that time. You could hit like a 30-yard punt, but it could be inside the 10 if you’re close. And on paper, 30 yards brings down your numbers by a lot, but it’s inside the 20. Or you could hit like a bunch of 60-yard punts because you’re backed up and have no inside-the-20s, but your average is high. It all depends on where you kick from.”'
