I think Rhule has some weird guilt complex about HH.

Just one more thing for teams to prep for & keep in ur back pocket. Colorado I think they used him as a diversion

My gawd our defenders feet are stuck in mud tonight. Constantly out of position, in the wrong position, etc.

Good thing that guy tripped on his own feet.

Backups in now

This is why I don't like going too hard to block punts. Will get more roughing calls than blocks.

And I do love blocking punts - we used to be one of the best at it. It has to be done at a better angle. Not at the kicker, at where the ball ultimately will leave his foot. I know that game is fast and these are snap things, but this is why, unless you have a really salty guy who is quick as hell and has the IQ to know what to do, and more importantly NOT to do, it is playing with fire.

There was just no reason for him to be anywhere near the kicker there

Princewill killed him

Deer lowered Princewill is a beast when he explodes.

Hope they don’t look at targeting there

With teams having 3 protectors back there it just doesn't make sense to try a block. Why not set up a return and take advantage of the numbers?

I'm mostly of the opinion that if you don't have a dude who knows how to block punts, you're wasting your time. I guess there were the Beamer Ball teams that do it on the reg, but those seem like they're dead and gone

Get one good offensive possession this half

It's a lot harder to block punts since teams went almost exclusively to the three man shield in front of the punter.

Raiola done?

Beat me to it.

Going to the game on Friday! Was at the 300th sellout game too. God willing i'll be at the 500th in a few years. GBR

 

[EwokRhuler]

You're kidding me......

 

[Mavsker]

Classic DR arm punt

 

[Samkellers_69]

Why the fuck are we doing this shit

Yep. You have to have an elite, quick, high IQ guy who knows how to do it. It is tougher to do in todays game how teams punt and with protection.

Lloyd needs to make that catch
