Message: [QUOTE="CA Monk, post: 2575263, member: 5268"] Copy all, thanks. In other news: I'm baffled by recent punt return strategy: It seems 10 or more years ago on any punt roughly inside the 10, the returner would let it go hoping it would bounce into the end zone (which it usually did) for a touchback. Now I see these punts being routinely fair caught even inside the 5. I don't get it. What's the difference between getting at the 5 (if fair caught) or getting it at the 2 (if it fails to go into the end zone)? There's a much greater chance it goes in for a touchback whereby you'd get the ball at the 20 as opposed to inside the 10 or even deeper. Anybody got an answer for this? What's changed? [/QUOTE]
