    The issue here is that Paladin's kit is already built around deciding between damage and tanking. Its strongest attack is built into shelltron, which aside from its lb, is it's only mitigation, and to actually get the attack off at full effectiveness, it can't use any of it for defense. If a paladin wants to use cover, they often have to kitchen sink which makes them practically unable to take an offensive action. Other tanks are arguably better at surviving than paladin and they don't have to sacrifice their damage to do so.

    Now you can add the 30-yard punt, which I believe is about average for the Dolphins?

    (Next season, Fins. I can feel it.)
