Roughing the punter

I hate it when something like SJB's boneheaded play happens. But I can understand the point of the rule. The punter is extended in an extremely vulnerable position. One good hit could easily end a punter's playing days. I think that is why the rule errors on the safe side. And doesn't allow for any contact at all, including incidental, harmless contact. Still, it sucks when a play like that happens to your team. And costs you a TD.

i agree. it was completely sjb's fault. it is funny that if you do touch the football, the punter is free game. it is all or nothing.

Wow. :facepalm:

Drink a glass of water. Take a nap. Sober up. Then come back and make an attempt at english, so we can finally welcome you to the conversation. Good grief.

Boneheaded attempt in my mind. Just take the ball at that point. But those things happen. I noticed the Wisconsin protector was making a check before that snap. Any chance they half-assed let Babtiste through trying to draw him in for such penalty, if they knew he wouldnt get there in time anyway?

 
Am I the only one that thinks kickers and punters should be fair game? Should be the same as a QB, you get a step or two after release to hit them

 
Going for the block once in a blue moon doesn't work. We need to either practice more and work on blocks against the lesser teams or just quit going for them altogether. We did the same crap against Mich with similar results.

 
just a bone head play. trying to do too much instead of playing his role. i wonder if they would have called anything if he would have wrapped the punter and just held him up?

He doesn't post often, but there's a pretty good reason that "big bro" refers to SJB as "lil bro." There's really no need to go jumping someone's sh#t over how they construct a post. His post wasn't difficult to decipher, but if you need it spelled out for you, it goes a little something like this:

All I can say is, "good job, little brother!" In Miami we're taught to lay the wood, so I say that punter was lucky to get that BS call. It's too bad the coaches didn't give him a chance to make up for the penalty and sat him for the rest of the game, but he learned his lesson so it's cool. That's just Husker football with Coach Pelini."

If I remember, to SJB defense - wasn't the Wisky guy a rugby style kicker, or was that the last game? If he normally goes rugby, but one time goes regular you could be caught off guard.
