TBH for as strong as Moody leg is advertised to be, he doesn't boom it every time.
Any word on his health?
He must be coached not to kick it out at times... which is depressing to me because it reveals how stupid the coaches really are.
this is from ESPN:
Moody was aiming to hit the ensuing kickoff for a touchback as he had on all but four of his previous 27 kickoffs this season.
Kicking into the wind, Moody said he got under the ball a bit, giving Cardinals returner DeeJay Dallas a return opportunity. Dallas worked his way past the first line of Niners defenders and encountered Moody along the left side of the field. As Moody attempted to make the tackle, he was knocked backward with his body folding over his right (kicking) leg.
I wonder if this is just plain inexperience. Veteran kickers know these types of things. But that should legit be the plan- every single time. Kick it out on kickoffs.
if you read the above it seems like it is the plan everytime. he was kicking into wind and had a bit of a miss hit. that's not a failure of plan, but he didn't hit his best ball there. got under it. i guess these guys are not perfect.
