A free kick considered a kick off, that is not returned from being in the end zone, or fair caught inside the 20 yard line comes out to the 25 yard line. This does not apply to punts because they are not "free kicks" in the same sense, unless they are after a safety has occurred.What I'm waiting for, and never see, is when a team calls a fair catch on a punt near midfield, with time nearly up, and goes for a free kick FG for the winner, or to end the first half. It happened years ago, with the Packers, calling a fair catch, and they kicked it through. It seems like such a good way to try to put an extra 3 points on the board at halftime. Especially if the wind is at your back for the kick.</blockquote>
