On Saturday, one of our punt return guys let the center run right past him unblocked. DPE had to call a fair catch.
One advantage of the rugby kick is that it allows the punter to run and delays the punt, creating a kind of artificial hang time.
But if we don't block anybody at the line of scrimmage, it doesn't make any difference. We aren't going to get much production from punt returns.
On BROR after the game Verzal said as an opposing coach, he liked seeing those big slow linemen back as protectors, because they aren't going to make a tackle on the punt returner.
