Amazing how football teams survived for years with 40 guys.

And the reason some teams employ an extra player just to kick off is because field position is so important.

Again, amazing how much more important it is now than in the 70 years of pro football prior to 1990.
What do you think the difference in average field position after a kickoff is between the teams who have a guy who only kicks off and the teams who have their regular kicker do it? Significant enough to justify the roster spot?

And even though I think Robin Williams is very funny I don't think I want to go around quoting him regarding football coaching theory. He may have been on the goal post at Colorado State in the opening to Mork and Mindy but I'm guessing he didn't learn much about football that day.

You do know what a paraphrase is, right? He wasn't talking about football. I was adopting something he said about...oh, never mind.
