And  yes, the field position issue based on the kicks as you indicated would actually create that field position.That's why I mentioned the kickoffs returned from in the end zone. If taken 9 yards in, and returned 29 yards, the ball is still on the 20, where taking the touch back would give you the ball on the 25, not the 20.That means that measuring the kick returns the way we do is probably wrong. We should be relating to it from the goal line, not the point in the end zone where the return starts. That way we would be a fair evaluation of what the field position really is.It's strange that we measure those kicks that way, and yet, get it right on runs from scrimmage and passes. We don't measure the run or the pass from where the ball is handed off, or from where the pass originates. We use the line of scrimmage.</blockquote>
