Either way, we're lucky it didn't bite us in the ass.
They ask him to kick it to the goal line because they like certain coverages vs certain returners.

Honestly, that's been my theory as well. I think it's Hightower. And Hightower sucks!

He's absolutely doing it because of coaching.

The same guy that can consistently kick it 6-8 yards deep in the end zone didn't just forget how to do that for two kicks in a row.
The idea is to pin the opponent inside the 20. Minne did a good job blocking the returns.

ok but that's not on Wishnowsky. He's being asked to kick to the goal line.

Punter Mitch Wishnowsky had a 41.5 net average and didn't allow a punt-return yard, dropping one kick at the 12-yard line.

Ok, no return yards is the aim ;)

If this is the case I think we need to just eat it and kick a TB every time.

Me too. These short kick offs need to stop. If it's coaching like some are saying, why? It's obviously not working
