Concerned over a play that happened last fri night and how other referees handel this:
Scrimage kick at their own 10 hashed towards HL sideline. Punter stands at his own 3. He gets ball, takes one step punts. Defense (4 of them all agme) is in backfield diving, flying at ball. Never contact kicker, but at WH I am watching very closly. Now for the problem. We were attempting to use a new mechanic here in IN, BJ takes the wide side of the field, and the wing opposite him is the one who is to check the line and then go down for coverage. In this case, HL goes down (but it can be either side.) Ball was a line drive kick and went OB behind the HL who was attempoting to get into position.
My question for referees, how can you protect the kicker AND gert a spot for your wings if ball is line drive ob?
Is this just practice and get a timing thing working or is there a correct mechanic for this?
