The ball just hangs in the air longer while guys are bearing down on you. Kickoffs are easier, you'll get a chance to catch the ball every time and pick your holes. I prefer punts because they are more exciting. They say Chuck Levy is. But until he beats me in a race, I'd have to say that I am.
All defensive coordinators have their tweaks, but the scheme is still the same.
Yes I enjoyed my rookie year. In the off-season I worked out, trained and ran, etc. I think they need to change the pass interference rules for sure. The spot of the foul needs to be changed. I think they should change the rule to a standard 15 yards.
