Penalty yards added onto the kick?
I'm wondering who else agrees with me, or can give me a reason to think otherwise.
Whenever a penalty is added on after a TD (lets say unnessecary roughness) it's added onto the spot for the kicker. So he gets to kick from 15 yds closer. That's really not helpful in any way. Most kickers get it to the endzone on the majority of their attempts, or within the 5. Kicking from 15 yds closer just means they don't kick as hard.
Should the 15yds be assessed from the end of the run? So if the penalized team runs it out to the 30, should they be moved back to the 15? Is there a good reason for doing it the way they do now?

You do make a good point and i believe they should do that also, but what if the kicker returns it for a TD? Then where do they add the penalty yards? So by them accessing the penalty at the kick it allows them to get the penalty out the way so they can play football.

what kickers generally try to do is sky kick it when they get the shorter field and get it the return guy to catch it around the 5 that way the defense can bin them deep...
in your scenario what if they team runs it back what are you gunna do then?

Did you have an actual question?
You posted a statement with incorrect punctuation (putting a question mark on the end doesn't make it a question)
