Virtually every QB in the NFL is deviating from their career norms this season. Studs like Allen, Mahomes, Burrow (playing better recently) Lawrence, Hurts, Watson, etc all seem to be turning the ball over more. What do you think is causing this? Just more Defensive adjustments?
How do you eliminate 3 positions by not kicking field goals?
Long snapper would be needed for punts
You would need a punter who can do kickoffs which isn’t unreasonable but I’m still only seeing the kicker being replaceable
Kicker, holder, snapper. Now you have the issue of snapper for punts. But I’m guessing a snapper is prioritized for field goal snapping not punt snapping and you could teach a back up center to punt snap. But you could also de-emphasize punting by being more aggressive across four downs. Look at the eagles. They have basically manufactured a way with the tush push to get two yards a pop. If it’s 3rd and 6 now they can take 4 yards. And line up and tush push for 2 yards. That sounds ridiculous but the stats are there they average something like 25% more series than the next NFL team bc they have figured out a tush push.
