[QUOTE="sschind, post: 966530, member: 10247"] #1 Not specifically direct at you Cap but do coaches instruct kickers to just kick it as far as they can every time or do they occasionally ask them to kick short? Having not ever been a kicker I would think it would be difficult to adjust how much power you put behind each kick without sacrificing some control. I understand that you do have control over how much power you put behind a kick and it would be akin to pulling a punch but if asked to back off just how much do you back off. Will it be too much or not enough or what. I'm sure if that's your job its easier to master but it just seems that it might be difficult to gauge how much. Anyway the reason I asked is because if the kicker is instructed to kick short (although with our STs I have no idea why you would do that) that would have an effect on the TB %. It might not be all on Crosby's weak leg. #2 I thought they got relief from the salary portion if the player was signed by another team. that's why you see some high prices players go to teams on low, or league minimum deals because they are already collecting a salary from their previous team. In Loves case though I can't imagine a scenario where his new salary wouldn't be more than what the Packers were paying him. Its not really a lot of money. [/QUOTE]
