and as far as getting better field position, the kicks that went into the endzone are now being returned. everything will pretty much be returned. on average the field position will change more than 5 yards, IMO.
Was not busting on Ginn. (by the way, he was only the third best in the Big Ten.) Just making my point that kickoff returns are not going to make that much of a deal if you get another 5 yards. The guy is supposedly Mr Superman and he only averaged 24 yd per return. If he caught a kickoff on the 11 yd line, on average he would be at the 35.

And I already stated only 20% of kicks were not returned, so the point about kicking it in the EZ is almost moot....it rarely happened before.
