1) Bag it at the 5, if so does it matter what color (we have a white and blue)?

What are you bagging this spot for at all... there is no need to know this spot.

2) Blow it dead when R recover (they can't advance muff)?

Meh, what? New rule? Why can't R advance a muff? (However on THIS play, when the muffed punt (which is still, therefore, a punt) rolls into the EZ, you have a dead ball and a touchback.

3) Safety?

Egads, why?

I'm assuming he thought R added a new force putting the ball into the EZ and subsequent safety if downed there......(?)

We all know that ball is dead with TB the second it breaks the plane of the GL....or we all do now : )

I would read up long and hard on your mechanics with handling Fair Catch responsibilities also....better to be over prepared at this stage for anything.

Good luck.
