He charges to try and block the punt. Knowing that he will not get to the punt he lays off and runs behind the punter. He then circles around and blocks the punter in the front and above the waist. The punter never saw him coming and is flattened. The block occurs approx 8 yards behind the LOS at K's 20.
Questions
Quote:
1. Is there a foul on this play?
1. Have to see the play, but as you describe it I would lean yes.
Quote:
2. If yes, what is the foul? Why?
2. Personal Foul, charging into an opponent obviously out of the play (Rule 9 somewhere)
Quote:
3. If yes, what is the enforcement?
3. Depends. If before the end of the kick, we will have 15 yards from previous spot and either replay 4th down or award new series to K. If after the end of the kick, we will have 15 yards from spot of the foul or end of the run depending if run ends beyond or behind spot of foul.
