Message: <blockquote data-quote="Voyageur" data-source="post: 999646" data-attributes="member: 17953">An interesting fact about kick returns is that giving up one long return, over 70 yards, can move you 10 to 15 positions in the pecking order on averages. It's because there's fewer numbers of them happening, to not have that happen. If a team has 49 returns averaging 24.0 yards per return against them, and the next one goes for 74 yards, the average moves from 24.0 to 25.0. The Packers had 61 kicks returned against them this year. I'd like to see a breakdown as to how many of them were over 40 yards, due to blown tackles, and loss of lane integrity? I have a hunch about a half dozen of those returns ballooned the average by over 1.0 yards per return, possibly as much as double that. That's the lacking scale in going with averages only.</blockquote>
