One of my pet peeves is not just kicking the ball out of the end zone every kickoff. The risk of big return and injury far outweighs actually making a tackle for what may be a couple/few yards less (on a positive play).
I also hate that directional punting is a lost art. Kick all kickoffs out of the EZ and execute punts to the sideline and OOB and you barely need to even have ST coverage and reserve rosters spots for 'ST demons'
I was surprised the recent team "who would you want in a snowball fight" video no one picked Poyer - a guy who played baseball in college and was drafted in the MLB 😛
Yep - to me it's not even as much how it affects the play on the field as the psyche of the players. Get a lead, the environment hostile and weather miserable and some guy start thinking man this sucks and dreaming of a warm bus
