The reason there are few blocked kicks is simple, and it has to do with the snapper, but not the OP's point. The real reason is that the snaps are too fast, and there is never a bad snap or hold. The ball needs to take a little longer to get back to the holder/punter, and there needs to be low snaps, high snaps, and snaps that are off left and right (and, field goal/PAT angles are jacked up, and the ball does travel a little too quickly once kicked as well). A long-snap rating would be great (note to EA, virtually no offensive linemen are long snappers. It is as much a specialized skill as kicking and punting, and snapping is the primary role of virtually every snapper. A few moonlight as backup tight ends or linebackers. Of course, if there were 85 man rosters it would make it easier to add a third specialist...), and the hands rating needs to be taken into account for holders. As far as I'm concerned, awareness could be used to dictate how well a kicker/punter reacts to and handles poor snaps, getting the ball away quicker and avoiding blocks.

You sir should be paid by EA. Agree 100% with your ideas very well put.
