I don't know about NFL punters but when I play with my friends, punted balls have a weird lateral trajectory in addition to vertical. This also means the ball doesn't land in your hands with its long axis pointed towards you but at an oblique angle. Can't really body catch them.

I don't know how any can not catch a ball. It's a ball, put your hands out, pull it in. Forget about the 11 or so guys running their asses off trying to take your head off, that's trivial information.

Zero, have you ever tried to catch a punt from an NFL punter. I haven't, I did in high school, but based on the low number of NFL players that can do it well, it can't be that easy. By the way those 11 players are hard to forget about, mainly because of all the drool. :icon_smile:

I have from someone who tried out for the Packers and Jacksonville Jaguars and a jugs machine. As I said in an earlier post, Punt's are more difficult to catch than a pass. The swirling winds make it a helluva chore sometimes to stay under it. When I was younger (and still do sometimes) punt the ball as high as I can and run under it to catch it. It's a good work out and pretty fun watching the ball get as small as a baseball and then trying to get under it without going too far, lol.

I think punt's are harder to field, but also fully believe if you practice it enough you'll get good at it.

Yes he did. He has more career INTs than Charles Woodson. Very underrated player.

Woody passes up Buckley this year.

Heh. I didn't believe you so I had to look it up. You're indeed correct. Buckley has 50 INTs, Woody 45. However Woody has been averaging 7 INTs a year since coming to GB. We saved Woody's career and there's a decent chance that Woody will go into the Hall of Fame now.

Sorry for taking the topic away from Sam Shields but you know how I am about stats.

Yeah, it's crazy to think, isn't it? Buckley is no Charles Woodson, but he ended up having a really good career.

4 or 5 ints in a year doesn't make up for getting toasted a couple times a game. Nobody said he couldn't get ints. He just couldn't cover nearly as well. If he shut people down and made the picks, then he would be something.

Clearly, he's no returner. So, do they keep him around as a corner? I think he gets cut and put on the practice squad.

Return skills are nonexistent.

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
