on 8/2/2008 you didnt cover the angle of the fb ,pointed toe,leg swing,head down,wieght distribution from back to front,arms extention,highth and distance..ie the drop of the ball the lower the drop the further the FB will travel for distance and visversa...2 types of situations..short game and the long game..ie short game is like punting from the 50 yd.line 2 things aim for the sideline towards the 10 yrd line or punt for hang time and try and pin them inside the 10 yd.line and when punting to a dangorus retuner hang time will control him or kick away towards the sidlines to pin the returner from breaking a long run. thanks for the video
