Kick-ins
« on: August 14, 2015, 03:25:48 AM »
The zone of outriders that undid Walls' great innovation still holds the upper hand, explaining why scores from unbroken chains from kick-ins are beaten two-to-one and more by scores against by an opposition that forces a turnover.

The stats are not so much an indicator of the kicker's proficiency as his team's game style; that not one of Houli's 18 kick-ins since round 17 has led to a Richmond inside 50 betrays how slowly the Tigers have been moving the ball of late, and that their "keepings-off" commitment has been breaking down before they've got close enough to hit the scoreboard.

Arguably, one of the reasons we're not hitting the scoreboard as much as we should.
