How else are you going to stop a fake punt with the punter running!
Punt more often
No he's still the punter he ran the ball because of a fake punt call or maybe because of bad snap & he's afraid punt will get blocked so he runs with ball. Regardless he's still the punter.
I was a punter for a team in Ohio in 1998 and my longest punt was 75 yards.
No. Statistically, the attempt and the negative yardage from a blocked punt should be assessed to the "Team," not the punter.
Oregon State punter Johnny Hekker shanked a rugby punt for a -4 yard punt on September 10, 2011 while playing Wisconsin.
Just /join punt.
a punt may be blocked by the kicking team without penalty unless there is some other illegal act involved. As long as the kicked ball is touched prior to the blocker contacting the punter the contact is ignored. For exanmple If the punt blocker were to block the punt and then make helmet to helmet contact with the punter there would be a penalty for the illegal helmet contact but not the blocking of the punt.
Pass interference CAN be called on a fake punt, however the outside players in the "gunner" position cannot be interfered with. On any given punt play, those players are blocked by up to two players on the punt return team, and as such, any punt play in which the punter tossed it up to one of his gunners would result in an interference call. These players can draw penalties for holding against the punt return team, and interference is NOT allowed against other members of the punt unit.
you type in the chat box /join punt you can acess the shop any more
yes you do!Another answer:Technically, it's called a "free kick." It differs from a punt in that the ball is not snapped to the punter; he holds it in his hands at the outset of the play.
Yes, if the ball is deflected there can be no roughing/running into the kicker penalty. Also, if the punter drops the snap there can be no penalty.
