Maybe that rule wasn't in place when I played, idk? It was the first I've heard of it. I was always told, whether it was a real short punt or the wind knocked it down, whatever, to get the **** away from it. Call peter or pecker, and back off so it didn't bank off anybody. If the coaches even knew that rule, which I doubt, you don't know how it'll bounce, unless it's end over end.
He played against A&M and Minnesota. He is terrible with pass blocking assignments from my observation. I think if Lewis is running for his life you can't have a Clayton back there until he gets better at picking up the blitzer, chipping the LB and isn't ole to the guy coming through so he can release to run his wheel route.
I’m pretty sure the Arizona punt returner did the exact same thing earlier in the game (minus the CU player trying to steal it from him).
I've never heard of fair catching off the bounce. I didn't know you could. Returning punts, I'd yell Peter or Pecker if I couldn't field it, everybody would clear out. Kicks, you better make damn sure it goes out or it's live. Yes, I let them know I might say pecker instead of Peter.
So the fair catch signal must be given prior to the ball hitting the ground. Once signaled the receiving team cannot advance the ball and it becomes dead the moment it is possesed. The right of the receiver to possess the ball unimpeded ends when the ball strikes the ground. So if the ball is muffed or bobbled but doesn't touch the ground the kicking team can't attempt to get the ball. If it touches the ground the kicking team may attempt to possess the ball.
Arias is big, fast, seems to run decent routes but the hands just aren’t there. Had the nice catch on the 8y curl route but if I noticed on the end zone cam reply he actually almost dropped it. Probably does drop it frequently in practice I bet.
Alot more likely teams are keying on the run because we can barely complete forward passes.
It's kinda funny, we were talking about this. I was watching Miami and Jacksonville, don't ask me why and ****. Dude was gonna field a punt, then backed off after the bounce. Only problem was, he tried to field it after. They said he didn't touch it, but he did. Index finger on his left hand moved, but they said they didn't have enough. He definitely touched it.
This is the confusing part - if he signals fair catch, then the ball hits the ground, can you tackle him before he gets the ball to allow the ball to keep rolling?
He did. The first time I was like, “what the hell?” The second time I was like, “WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FÜCK is going on?”
Man, if we only had Jaren and his 3.8 yards per carry...
I'm assuming someone squatted in our seats.
No. That would be a personal foul.
You mean the kid who has just 40 less yards and 8 more TDs than our leading rusher? Yeah him.
He has gotten a ton of 1 and 2 yard TDs. Mangham isn’t a good RB and nobody but CU was recruiting him that way.
If he signals fair catch he has a right to get to the ball unimpeded even if it has touched the ground so no you can't tackle him without the ball.
Actually, no! They stayed empty the whole time. I was surprised, actually.
Wow! Good seats with backrests.
punt. Have not seen one of those in forever. Then to return for a TD, Holy crap!! Allsome!
