Placement is critical, since you need the ball to go into the landing zone (between end zone and 20-yard line). If it is short, the ball is placed at the 40-yard line. If long (into the end zone), then to the 30-yard line.
It would seem that the ideal would be a line drive kick that hits in the landing zone, ideally inside the 10, but is moving into the end zone. Either a player returns it or it goes into the end zone. If it goes into the end zone and a player doesn't return it, it goes to the 20-yard line.
Since hangtime means zero, and a line drive kick is probably best, it would seem to me that McMoney is still the key, not Robbins. That's my best guess.
I wouldn't be surprised if you see a non kicker, doing the kicking. It takes your kicker off the field and not have to tackle, plus the ball only has to go 40 yds..
