Intentional Safety Gone Wrong

I would just instruct my team that that if anyone comes close to the punter, to tackle them (and if I recall correctly, there was a blatant hold that occurred on the play). I'd also make sure to tell them to make sure any penalty is not a personal foul as it would carry over and if the circumstances are right, extend the game with an untimed free kick down.

I heard Brian Bielik say that it was okay that holding wasn't called because the 49ers would have declined the penalty anyway.
