I just keep wondering if the Rams won that Super Bowl like 6-3 over New England he probably would've been named Super Bowl MVP which would've been hilarious lol
That one bad punt by Ray Guy for the Raiders had to have been just a huge blow to the guy's confidence. He punted it so bad he was the one who recovered it.
Is this a good time to remind everyone when Mike Scrlifres (Chargers Punter) "beat" Peyton Manning and the Colts in the 2008 Wildcard round? Quote ESPN: Keeping the Chargers in the game was Mike Scifres, whose booming punts continually pinned the Colts deep in their territory. Scifres punted six times for an average of 52.7 yards, including a 67-yarder. "I don't know if you can dream a game like this," Scifres said after the Chargers ended the Colts' nine-game winning streak" Scifres had punts of 51 yards to the 10, 58 yards to the 15, 50 yards to the 3, 67 to the 5, 38 to the 9 and the 52 to the 1 with 2:41 to play. "I think that their punter is the MVP of the game," Colts running back Dominic Rhodes said. "He did a real good job of putting us deep in our territory, and their defense did a good job of keeping us there."
@@mjf2891 Not for in-game statistics. I just meant for the sake of a video where we're looking at the longest punts. Some of these are listed as 80 yards but really they go about 90 based on where the kick happened.
When recording punting statistics, the distance that the ball travels through the end zone is counted. For example, if the ball is snapped from the punter's own ten yard line, and goes nine yards into the end zone, then ruled down at that spot, that's a 99 yard punt. However, it will be recorded as 70 yards _net_ due to the touchback. Steve O'Neal had the longest possible net punt (at least before the returner picked up the ball, as I think he returned it for one yard) when the ball was snapped from his own one and landed at the other team's one. So, you _could_ have a punt of 100 yards or more, yet it would likely be left for a touchback. Unless, of course, the man on the other end is named Devin Hester.
Yep, so many of these "80+" yard punts are going in for a touchback, and as the sportscasters sometimes mention, you now have to subtract 20. So big whoop; they punted outside the allowable parameters, came up with a ~60 yard punt, and someone included their mediocre performance here. Why?
@@fredleeland2464: hey Fred, good points, and it's extremely hard to punt out of the end zone, and yet, I didn't ask for this, RU-vid puts it up first thing like it's amazing, and most of them were, as you say, "pretty good," and thus a waste of my time! For that matter, why not aim for the sidelines and negate a return? (And negate unnecessary injuries that come with kick and punt returns?) Nothing new here, the headlines oversell the content, and so we're commenting with a plea for truth in advertising, because as Americans, we're "pretty good" at calling for redress from our authorities :-)
Fun fact: Brad's father David Wing played for a local team here in Melbourne, Australia, the same team for which I ended up playing. For most of us, it was a recreational league, it was an amateur competition, we weren't paid, and often played in front of a few dozen people. Yet David Wing was something different. A mutual teammate (i.e. with the team when David played, and still with the team after David left and I was there) told me that David Wing once _dropkicked_ a 45 yard field goal here in a game in Melbourne. That's how talented he was. I was glad when David's son Brad made it to the National Football League. David himself had tryouts for the National Football League.
Day 4 of asking for highlights of the 1987 Cardinals Buccaneers game where the Cardinals came back 28-3 to win in the first ever 28-3 comeback in NFL history
Per the NFL rulebook a defender can make contact with the punter if contact "occurs after the kicker recovers a loose ball on the ground." Basically as soon went through his hands and the ball hit the turf, the punter became fair game. operations.nfl.com/the-rules/nfl-video-rulebook/roughing-or-running-into-the-kicker/ That said, you could argue that there was helmet-to-helmet contact, which would be a different penalty, but I'd say the defender didn't launch or lead with the crown.
@@jtsh To add about potential helmet to helmet, the NFL didn't ban hitting with crown of helmet until 2013, the play shown was 2012. The only bans for helmet hits at that point were to QB's in the pocket or defenseless receivers
Ray Guy is the greatest punters of all-time and the only highlight they show is a muffed punt. LOL, most of the shortest kicks came from Bengals kickers.
My question on these short “unblocked punts”: why isn’t it roughing the punter when they miss the ball and tackle the punter? Maybe they’ve changed the rules by now 🤔
wtf, i just started practicing punting yesterday because i might switch to playing football from soccer... and you guys upload this? universe playing tricks on me lol
Yeah you can never truly put a hundred yard punt because then your line would be in the end zone which would be a safety but you could theoretically put a 99-yarder
The Seahawks' Ruben Rodriguez not only had a minus-6 yard kick, it went out of bounds on the one yard line. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jICaYK7JErI.html
