OK, after seeing some booming punts in the pre-season (89+ yards!!), I took one of my best punters on a bad team and filled him with Leg of Steel and the Big Heart one. Firstly, he has not had that many punts from inside the 20 (12 of 96) , so even on a bad team, Leg of Steel just doesn't have the chance to trigger much. Secondly, I've noticed very little increase in distance when punting from inside the 20. He's averaged about 42 yards from inside the 20 vs. 39 yards/punt overall. That's about 4 extra yards per punt when you would expect about 7 or 8 extra yards per punt. One explanation for this difference could be that when he is punting from inside the 20, he's punting a lot more in the game and his stamina may be down. But I'm not sure this explains much.

Just my experiences with one punter.

Overall, Leg of Steel seems to be a very useless VA. Hoping for another reset.

I can't offer this until day 32 - we have a punter who is specifically on our gutted team for XP and he's the owner of a team I GM etc, etc., etc., But once XP stops at day 32, I can sign you and rig our AI to have you punting a heck of a lot both inside the 20, and outside the 20, for the 4 scrimmage games (2 games on each?). Small sample size I realize, but if we can get a good 10 punts in each of the games, that may suffice.
