I think the odds of me catching a punt are > an extra point with no practice.

But by no means do I think it would be easy. I just remember at some point in HS trying to kick a few FG's with some friends and failing horribly.

The game is on the line and it's all up to you. You have several options....

Deep Route: 75% chance, maybe 85-90% if perfect throw

Am I a coach, a player?

You are the player, doing the actual kicking/catching. In your current physic.

rtNelson

Deep route with or without a perfect throw

BYuckner

Yeah, I think the undefended bit made it a no-brainer. Derp.

Am I already 40-50 yards downfield?

Bernard is playing corner.

Ask Ross Apo how that worked out for him.

Catching a pass that deep, coming that fast is actually not that easy

Holy crap I'll take the deep ball

Dissenter

7/26/17 10:33am

Wait... I'd take the punt, and I wouldn't catch it. The defense touches it dead

Dissenter

7/26/17 10:39am

Obviously you would at least have to attempt to catch it.

rtNelson

7/26/17 10:41am

then the deep ball. It's easier, and catching the game winning TD would be sweet

Dissenter

7/26/17 10:46am

Agreed, I regret putting that option in there. But I do laugh at the thought...

Fielding a punt is easier than catching a 50 yard pass

the velocity on the punt is going to be higher, unless the punter sucks

Dissenter

7/26/17 11:57am

The y component of the velocity, sure, but not the x component.

If you actually have to field the punt, IMO by far the hardest.

I can see, that, the difference with the punt for me is the game scenario

Option #3

Wouldn't the best option be to pick the punt and get out of the way?

BYU Fan

You are the person that's supposed to catch the punt I believe. No practicing.

7/26/17 11:10am

I can't think of a game situation where I have to catch the punt

BYU Fan

Kick the field goal

DrKennethNoisewater

7/26/17 11:03am

I would suck at all of them. I would just run away from the punt and hope the

jensen46

7/26/17 11:08am

I'm a kicker... I'd take the chipshot for the win.

(Private)

7/26/17 11:09am

Fans would be confused why a lineman was kicking the field goal though...

7/26/17 11:11am

Can we see a preview?

yaxcoug

7/26/17 11:14am

Don't want to be suspended again...

7/26/17 11:15am

But would be something along these lines though

That was awesome. Thank you.

Can I wave for a fair catch before the ball is snapped?

65 toss power trap...and it will bust wide open...even win the super bowl

I field the punt. Standing and catching a punt is easier than a deep bomb I'm

Field the punt

KCRoyalcoug

The punt. The pass is a live play meaning my QB is dead long b4 I get to 50

The punt.

Fair catch with the punt

Catch punt 80%, catch pass 80%, field goal 40%

I'd kick it. Easy chip shot. Laces out and I'm money.
