Can't advance your own fumble?

You can absolutely advance your own fumble expect for 4th down, before change of possession, the fumbler is on the only offensive player that can advance a fumble. Which this case doesn't apply.

I think he may be confused that the punting team can't advance a muffed punt.

What is a bad pitch on an option play is made, can't the running back pick it up and run with it? I thought it was only true if it was forward

That’s correct, that’s what I was thinking here.

Yeah I was thinking about the muffed punt rule because this happened on a punt return.
