Most teams already know who their kickers are going to be, so why not practice going for it on 4th down and going for 2 for when those situations arise in the regular season?

Punters, kickers, holders, and long snappers need real game practice just as much as other positions. Also, a lot of borderline players are competing for jobs on the coverage team and returning team, so the coach needs to evaluate these players as well.

You still have to test your special teams in the preseason just like offense and defense. Not neccessarily the kickers but the line needs tested too.

the punters and kickers and specail team players need practice, they have had just as little real time as the rest of the team. and because the games dont count so who cares?

I was glad the Saints went for 4th and (2 then 1 I think) tonight. Made the game more exciting (even though they failed :( )

That's actually not true, but even if it were Everyone needs time on the field. Even a 10 veteran querterback.

The kicker and punter need work too.
