This may be true but in the era of touchbacks moving to the 25 and idiots running kickoffs out of the back part of the end zone, most teams don't want a kick off into the third row like they used to.

What I care about is converting FG attempts and (now) extra points. Carebear didn't distinguish himself from Novak in that department.
