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

Obviously WRs practice this constantly, but for the common person out there it's actually really hard. Not just your average game of catch

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

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

Am I already 40-50 yards downfield?

Ask Ross Apo how that worked out for him.

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

rtNelson

7/26/17 10:40am

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

Have you seen the times when they bring fans on the field during timeouts to

Option #3

yaxcoug

7/26/17 10:41am

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

BYU Fan

7/26/17 11:02am

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

Don't want to be suspended again...

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

Kick it

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.
