I know that my kicker was kicking the ball a lot deeper than before in todays game, however he missed 2 kicks shorter than 25 yards in one game today. He has never missed from that range in his entire career.

Kicker on our team missed an 18 yarder yesterday. Hadn't missed a kick all season, including a bunch over 50 yards. Last year he didn't miss anything under 50 yards, and hit half of those over 50.

Don't know if others had something like this happen.

I noticed a lot more touchbacks today on kickoffs.

Yeah I noticed that too, I was specifically refering to the FG's though. I know Bort updated about the Punting and Kicking

A lot is different right now. There were some major changes done or something. CB returns are different, DE success is different, QB accuracy is different, etc.

- New pocket collapse code, harder to hold blocks over time, more dynamic motion
- Vision check to leave man and converge on ball when in coverage in M2M made much more difficult.
- Increase to hang time on P/KO <-----------
- Increase to range in which missed tackle rolls result in being dragged by the ball carrier
- Minor updates to several run plays, changing the handoff point to make the play more fluid
- Screen blockers get out and block better, QB drops back differently on screens

yeah, i haven't seen any documented changes that would affect FGs

the angle/trajectory change to kickoffs has made a huge difference tho
