Interesting build found on the FA market...

And another who put equipment bonus on tackling. Maybe these guys know something I dont?

They're just your standard GLB idiots.

LOL, yeah, but there sure is a lot of them. I found about 10% of the builds either trained at some point or had EQ bonus in tackling. It's more than just lack of GLB, it's lack of American Football knowledge I would guess. I mean even when I was green I doubt I'd have ever even thought about putting points into tackling for my punter.

And I swear to Juhoombasplat, if any of those guys get contracts before my punter, I'm going to hang myself. OK, well maybe not. But still. I'll be angry.

I trained a bit in tackling for my kicker (about 20), it didn't take so long and I didn't know what to train else.

Cumulated with a good strength, your kicker can really give a hand to your special team, defending and tackling.
Look my tackling bar is bigger than your first guy because of my strength.
I know it's not truly realistic but this is working.

Okay 44 in tackling is an aberration, but when you reach higher levels you can train a bit this ability.

Eh, ok. To me punters are there to punt. Any day spent training tackling is a day that could have been spent training jumping, agility, speed, vision, str, all of which have a direct affect on how well your punter...well...punts.

Yeah I totally agree.

But when you reach about 25 in these three abilities, and about 18 in stamina your training became less efficient.

It's your call anyway, but I'm happy when I see my kicker making these plays.
(Okay the kick-off wasn't good I don't why but he makes a lot of touchback)

Yep that's pretty funny. If we ever get to the point where injuries occur, my guess is though you won't want your kicker flying down the field on a KO.

ROFL, well Ole Hensengard found a team:

So there are teams that like slow, blind punters punters who can tackle

My punter plays on ST for extra exp.
I should train blocking.

My guess is your level 17 punter has more Str (29.28 w/eq bonus), Vision (19.42 w/eq bonus), Agi (14.42) and Speed (14.42) than that guy as well. Just a guess though.
