And on ANY punt, if the kicking team players can block a player into the bouncing ball that's a good thing. But I don't think that was a key motivator in this play.

like I said, he isn't aiming for the defender. That's the receiver's job.

Not only that, but they had to rely on #0 completely flubbing up the recovery

I don't think he specified success as hitting an unsuspecting defender

He said it went in their favor once before and once not.

He didn't specify. Success could be pinning deep.

Sure, you “try” but you don’t expect it to happen. It’s a low risk, high reward

I think we were ill-prepared for it. Once it was a kick, someone needed to yell

Not sure it was unexpected. I told my bro during the TO that I would pooch punt

It’s an incredibly dangerous play for the defense especially in man D. The CBs
