Kickoff harder—less mayhem (no work to show but suspect chaos favors the unlikely outcome of a return TD) and longer distance means greater chance that a fast guy gets an angle on you at some point.

Changing my answer—more penalties on punts means decreased chance you get to do anything cool

But ...the kickoff comes with 11 good tacklers. A punt comes with 7 good blockers on D

Oh shit, that’s right—punt has 5 guys with no shot to make an open field tackle.

I’ve had so many bar debates about this. It’s almost always split 50-50. My take is you can build up more speed on a kickoff before your first engagement so it should be easier to see the field and find a hole. But I really don’t know.

Oh that’s good point—you only have to guess/see the right thing once, and then if the wheels are there you’re good.

That question’s actually a bit more complicated than what you’ve currently discussed (which has been good stuff). I would say the main odds of a return on either are primarily affected by overall team personnel choices, both on the coverage and return sides.

For example - a team like the 2007 Raiders, which drafted heavily for speed (because Al Davis), could make full use of Lechler’s 60 yard punts since every failed first round receiver was put in as a gunner to get *some* use out of them. Their guys could cover Hester.

Compare that to, oh, let’s say the 2007 Vikings, who drafted a run-first offense/stop the run defense (because Adrian Peterson), which means the majority of those backups are linemen, linebackers, and blocking tight ends, and all of a sudden when *those* guys are running down...
