When AB was doing it, he often got huge gains if he had space to work with. But also, it would sort of seem that punts have become somewhat easier to block..maybe I'm wrong and I just think there has been more than there has? Also. you're not allowed to block a guy that isn't looking right at you (ridiculous) which has hindered returns to a degree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ability to kick the ball far and get your teammates under it helps. There was a time you could get one or the other. And when you get one or the other; big returns happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
