So from what I've gathered this is what it's looking like. Pap does the 30 maybe 35 yard and in and JK is everything else. JK kicks a nice pretty kickoff but I am wondering if they will enforce some kind of a kick count. Not sure but the above seems like what they are going towards.
I've always wondered about this. Does punting 4-5 times a game really wear your leg out? QB's throw it 30-40 times a game with their arm. Other players are out there 80-90 plays. Why is too much for a kicker to punt, kickoff and do FG's? I mean total, that might mean 15 kicks a game? Maybe I just don't understand how this works. If Paps handles extra points and short FG's--that might be 8-10 kicks a game for JK.

I don't think the concern is about the number of kicks; it's having all your eggs in one basket when it comes to the kicking game.
If you've got one kicker handling punts, kickoffs, extra points and field goals, and that kicker gets hurt on any of those plays -- your entire special teams aspect of the game just took a massive hit.
