There doesn't have to be evidence of something for it to be true. We're just kind of speculating and wondering if it could be true. But you and Boris are getting all mad because there are no data. Guys who are designated as "punters" on an NFL roster aren't the only ones who can catch a snapped ball and kick it up in the air.
Do you really not see the difference in consistency in the following 2 tactics:
1) Punt ball as hard and high as I can every time
2) Adjust height and/or power depending on how close I am to the EZ.
Obv. the pro punter does get some edge just in the fact that he's going to automatically be a better executor in general, of punts.
