I can see why Football Outsiders ranks our ST 8th and Indy's 19th :
Punt Returns :
We average 11.7 and allow 11.1 (11.1 is really bad, btw). +0.6
They average 9.0 and allow 13.1. -4.1.
Kickoff Returns :
We average 26.8 and allow 22.8. +4.
They average 23.6 and allow 26.0. -2.4.
So net per pair of kicks, we average a gain of 4.6 whereas they average a loss of 6.5. That's 11 yards per kick. Hidden yardage, baby.
