Purpose
The purpose of a quick kick is the same as that for all punting, but with additional hope of:
- preventing a runback (return) of the ball by the opponents,
- additional distance by the ball's bouncing or rolling instead of being fielded by an opponent, and
- (where legal) recovery and retained possession of the ball by the kicking team.

Famous quotes containing the word purpose:
“Productive collaborations between family and school, therefore, will demand that parents and teachers recognize the critical importance of each other’s participation in the life of the child.

—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“the Omnibus
Had no real purpose till it got to us.
Never believe it.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Thus one can observe that those who proclaim piety as their goal and purpose usually turn into hypocrites.”
