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.  

Can Rehkow do kickoffs? I don't know how important that kickoff is, it is for our shitty defense but Evan being automatic on FGs seems to be at least as important. Or just give up and touchback every kickoff for Evan.
