Quick Kick - Purpose

Purpose

The purpose of a quick kick is the same as that for all punting, but with additional hope of:

  • preventing a runback (return) of the ball by the opponents,
  • additional distance by the ball's bouncing or rolling instead of being fielded by an opponent, and
  • (where legal) recovery and retained possession of the ball by the kicking team.

Famous quotes containing the word purpose:

    I beg to assure you that I have never written you, or spoken to you, in greater kindness or feeling than now, nor with a fuller purpose to sustain you, so far as in my most anxious judgement, I consistently can. But you must act.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    The purpose of getting power is to be able to give it away.
    Aneurin Bevan (1897–1960)

    The strongest wind cannot stagger a Spirit; it is a Spirit’s breath. A just man’s purpose cannot be split on any Grampus or material rock, but itself will split rocks till it succeeds.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
