JAGS should start doing that fair catch kick on the punt. They might win more

So we are going to assume the punting team commits a penalty on every punt

Got it

Tell us you don't know the rules without telling us you don't know the rules. 

Quote

After a fair catch, a team has the option to attempt a fair catch free kick, which is a placekick or dropkick for three points. This is a rare, untimed play where the kicking team can only score, while the defense cannot rush the kick. Special rules for this play include no snap and the defense must stand 10 yards back from the line of scrimmage until the ball is kicked.  

Nothing to do with a penalty. Penalty not needed

WRONG

Your video is the result of fair catch interfence and that's what resulted in the free kick attempt

The first line of the rule says "After a fair catch is made....", so all the receiving team has to do is call for a fair catch and make it.  The rest of that line covers the possibility of a fair catch not being made as a result of a penalty.  If you watch this play, you'll notice 2 things... 1) The ref literally puts the ball 1 yard further back than what it should be,  and most importantly 2) no penalty was made.

There are 2 slight advantages to this... 1) There's no rush and 2) You don't need to back up the 8 yards behind the line.

The funny thing is, I think you're right.  Little is legitimately the best player they have on offense.  If they can have him kick from their 40 (or closer), yard line every time they get a fair catch, instead of going on offense, I'd bet they'd score more points.  That said, if he misses and the other team gets the ball at that spot, their defense would probably give up too many points over the course of the game.  It would probably be a net negative.

It's only an option at 2 points in a game, at the end of the half and at the end of the game.  It's not that often either team punts and has the ball fair caught close enough for a free kick to be used. 

"JAGS should start doing that fair catch kick on the punt. They might win more"

Ed Jrs assertion that the jags should do it more ofter is just stupid

He's making a joke, not being serious about it on every play.  His contention with you was that you said it had to be on a penalty, which is not the case.

Plain stupid but you guys be you

No team is going to try a kick when there is time on the clock to run plays first

A penalty or end of the game/half, otherwise teams are going to run plays, not try a free kick

Yeah, no kidding.  It was a joke about being done on every possession because the Jags offense sucks.

doesn't the nfl juice the kicker balls now and that is why we are seeing guys hitting 60 yarders like nothing but still missing XPs? 

 

edit:  just to explain that by juiced I mean the teams are allowed to doctor them up

[BeenHereBefore 1,583]

That Kicker kicked a 70 yard in preseason against the Steelers and figured they would give him the chance at some point in regular season to break the record.

[WhiteWonder 2,913]

Cam Little has a huge leg... but we are still seeing kickers in general having an easier time connecting on 55+ yarders. It definitely seems to be a result of letting teams prep the game kicking balls.
