nice homework on that post, "D-Car".
It appears I can call Tonawanda an "outlier" based on their lack of $ spent on offense.

from above
avg FG kicker 57.5
avg punter 27

Here is a small strategy item I pass along..the cost of cheap punters is
RATING $
15 . $403
14 . $381
13 . $359
12 . $337
11 . $325
10 . $325
- it costs an extra 22K for each point above 12
- but it only costs 12K to *get* to 12
SO. I always buy the minimum 12-rated punter when going cheap
