Individual punt/kick return TDs

Offering up a scoring change may be bad form by the new kid on the block, but I will do it anyway... It appears that when an individual scores on a punt or kickoff return, he is not awarded any points. Instead those points go to the Def/ST only.

I would propose also giving those points to the man who scored it. I don't think double awarding points on the same TD is that big of a thing when you consider:

a) When a QB throws a TD both he and the receiver are getting the points on 1 TD scored.
b) The infrequency of the event. Basically a handful of guys return kicks and punts as well as play a big role on their offenses so the points wouldn't be that crazy.

I'm just thinking that if Reggie Bush or MJD scores on special teams they should get those 6 points individually. It seems a shame that your man would score a TD and you not get anything for it. Anyway, I always propose this in any league I am in that does not allow for it. I did not see the setting in the scoring system, but if it is in there and I just missed it, then never mind :rofl:

Wow, I must have been asleep the past year, I thought individuals did get points for return TDs. :blunt: I've never actually been in a league that didn't. Maybe I better go check the scores last year and see...

Ok, I just checked the stats and guys like Hester are getting return TDs credited so I think we have this already.

Yeah we do I double checked as well. :thumbsup: FWIW joe we have the exact same scoring setup as the AFL with the exception of RB, they now receive .25 per reception.
