Many times the announcers will mention that long field goals are easier to block because they are launched at a lower trajectory.
Many deep kick offs are line drives.
HA!
If that were true, when quarterbacks are practicing tossing long balls back and forth, why aren't they just throwing the straight bullets instead of lofting them in the air? It's because when something is launched with force, air under it allows it to carry further. It takes much more strength to throw a deep line drive than it does to throw a deep ball with loft, and the same translates to kicking.
Of course, too high takes away distance, which plays into your field goal comment, because filed goal kickers figure out he perfect trajectory and height.
No. I'm not wrong. It's simple physics.
If you can contradict the highlighted part, I'll happily admit that I'm wrong.
