Punching the football...

[mcnaire2004]

If there’s an issue at all,

That's literally not

it’s with players punching other players, not the football.

No

Punching the football............is that code for something?

Can we save this topic for the summer? It'll break up the monotony of the offseason and would be a nice change of pace from the usual threads discussing the following:

"On campus stadium artist renderings"
"Nike vs Adidas"
"Bring back black cleats!"
"Where is Kyle Wright? He's currently a sales executive in the Bay area..."

No, only the yeungling addict can

Dont know how he didnt break his hand.. Knocked the ball loose too tho lol..

Could also add be a neg gif with sonic rings coming out

The fact that he’s punching at a downward angle instead of throwing a straight right is the difference between nothing happening and his hand being shattered

Well, he’s out of the country so it is what it is.

When I played, that was my go to move when I was beaten. It worked about 60% of the time for me.

That was his best hit of the year

I wonder if this is something that will eventually be addressed in terms of rules. Obviously stripping and slapping at the football will always be an element of the game, and ball security is the responsibility of the carrier - but it seems lately like you have full grown men flying in and dropping super-punches onto the football. Not open handed - closed fist, ****ed back, full force.

While I'm not crying about it, one wonders how long before one of those punches does some real damage...maybe it hits somewhere it wasn't meant to. Or maybe they start hitting somewhere they are meant to, and it isn't the football. I think a full force punch by a 300lb lineman to a runners bicep can be damaging.

Or some dude straight up stomach punches another player holding a football, what does that entice in response (if we're trying to cut back on skirmshes)?

Does this eventually get looked at by NCAA rules folks?

Kiko punched at the ball in a game this year, made contact with the runner’s facemask, and the “rules expert” opined that it should have been reviewed for unsportsmanlike conduct/unnecessary roughness. So there’s that.

Only good hit he had all season
