- I think that a QBs hands controls how good they are at throwing the
- ball, in which case HA should be more like a 4.

- Like an RB - all are important.

- I note that you always gave a "1" to EN - you'll have one tired

- Sounds like you're not kicking at a high enough angle.
-
- I have a different problem with kicking - I don't seem to get much
- hang time. If I kick at 45 degrees, my cover guys are still 20 yds away
- when the other team catches it. If I kick at higher angle, for more
- hang time, I get pathetically short kicks.
