Did a deep dive for those of us who have down time when there is snow on the ground. I honestly thought the results would be worse but...it still indicates what a mistake it is returning a KO.
Taking a knee results in the ball placed at the 25 yd line. There were 28 returns over the course of the year. A positive return is when we started at least at the 26 yd. line. Negative would be less than 25. I did not include the 2 onside KO's.
18 negative returns
10 positive returns including TD
Total Net yards= (+34). This means without the TD = (-66) as it was exactly a 100 TD ret.
In other words DON'T try and return it. Penalties would be avoided as well as injuries.
One more item to include: Only 4 times did we score after receiving the opening KO. We scored 17 pts. on 3 positive opening KO's (one of which was the TD) and only 7 pts. on negative opening KO. It's not worth it.
That's all I got.
