[QUOTE="danny daniel, post: 188343, member: 1376"] The rules for blocked punt and blocked field goal are the same so this issue about touching/possessing the ball is something that comes up from time to time and the players have to be coached about probable outcomes. CPJ's initial reaction (get away from it) was correct and the later decision by Lance to pick it up was also correct. Time on the clock can also affect these decisions. What is hard about these rules is that it is a fumble (either team can get it and advance it) if the blocked kick does not cross the LOS and if it does cross the LOS the defense gets to touch it first and it is treated as if it was not blocked/touched behind the LOS. In the heat of the action a lot of confusion can occur. [/QUOTE]
