But if they wanted to kick on the try, wouldn't they place the ball on the mark in the middle of the field? That would eliminate kicking from an angle.

Most kickers are head cases anyway so who knows what they are thinking?

I hope AB will jump into this part of it. He's our resident kicking coach!

Believe it or not, some teams prefer to spot the ball on the 10 yd. line chalk so they have a visual to make the length of the snap exactly what they want.

In one game this season I had two roughing the kicker and one running into the kicker. The special teams coach asked (tounge in cheek) me if I use to be a kicker.

What Mike said plus...I've had teams request the ball be placed on the hash to run a normal scrimmage play instead of kicking.
