Nail in the Coffin has made my Punter stop kicking coffin corners

There should be an increase in the number of CCs and a decrease in the number of TBs, but this season when I started adding Nail in the Coffin VA I noticed that my punter (who used to have a very high success rate of punting it out within the 10) is now punting the ball out of bounds before the 20 and getting TBs (even when punting from a reasonably close range like 40 yards). I remember hearing other people having difficulties with this VA a couple of years ago, which prompted my own investigation. Perhaps when the VA is maxed out it works again, but from 1-9 points it has not worked at all.
Prior to this season I had no points in Nail in the Coffin. My stats for the last two seasons:
Season 33 - 120 punts, 13 TBs, 19 CCs, 14 in 10, 33 in 20.
Season 34 - 149 punts, 6 TBs, 18 CCs, 20 in 10, 33 in 20.
This Season
Season 35 - 99 punts, 11 TBs, 8 CCs, 8 in 10, 27 in 20.
I'm seeing a lot more punts like this:

Maybe this could be tested in the offseason or on the testing server?
