I read in the "read this before you do anything" thread that kicking/punting are the only skills needed for kickers/punters. Would strength also be somewhat handy (with a stronger leg, he would kick farther, wouldn't he)?

From my point of view it seems the stronger the better, but I don't have real prove.

As much sense as that does make, if you look at the best kickers (Helmut Alberti for one) you will see this always isnt the case

You'd think speed would help as well, faster run-up for kick-offs

from my point of view tactical knowledge is necessary.

Hopefully in the future when punters don't just kick touchbacks all the time, intelligence might come into play to realise not to just hoof it as long a possible.

Yes..That is what you should do..Put your strongest and fastest players at Kicker and Punter..most definitely a winning strategy..
