Purdue Pete Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Punt is partially blocked and goes straight up to around the line of scrimmage. A defensive lineman attempts to field the punt but muffs the catch and the ball is loose. Recovered by the kicking team. Whose ball? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kicker is running to his left looked to me like he panicked and does some kind of half ass kick on the run with a potential tackler committed to tackling him. We all know where this is headed. The coach completely understood, but boy the fans couldn’t believe I missed that one right in front of me. The way I often explain that is was the action by the defender and attempt to block a kick or execute a tackle? If the former then it is roughing the kicker because he obviously recognized it was going to be kicked. If it's the latter then he expected him to continue to be a runner and was trying to tackle him. Unless it's really late it's usually better to pass on it.
