BECAUSE IT'S FREAKING HARD!!!!!

I never could really get the hang of it. When kicking is all you have to do for hours a day, day after day, you start to find distractions like attempting to drop kick. For all of us kickers and punters it turned out that the long snapper was the best at it. The timing of it is huge. I could make them every once in a while from 30 or 35 but more of them shot off to the right. I even tried to punt and was the second team punter for one season but again there is a big timing issue there. When the ball is moving it is more difficult. For placekicks the ball is stationary and thus it is much easier to control the direction.
