I wonder if one of the reasons is the new kickoff rules.  They spent more time in the off-season and training camp practicing kick-offs than normal.  Evan talked about the addition of the landing zone changed how they had to kick.  He said it was almost like a punt.

These guys have kicked the same way their entire lives and rely on a huge amount of reps to get the automation.  Suddenly changing even a little bit can lead to more injuries and mess up their field goal motions as well.
