Putting 10 guys up to block and 1 guy to catch it is the issue, at least it was with the kick yesterday. It creates this situation where if that one guy misses it you are completely screwed.

Better to have 2-3 guys back to catch it and less blockers IMO.

We also need to tell the blockers they are allowed to run up field after the kick.

It's better to engage the guys further away from the ball, no need to sit back.

I think it might be a good idea to try and have two guys behind that wall to catch the ball. Problem is we don't actually have 10 guys blocking. It's more like six. We have to leave some guys on the other side of the field to account for them kicking it that way (the kicking team can only have a maximum of six players on either side of the kicker).
