When the returner touches the Ball outside of the endzone and proceeds to run into the endzone and Take a knee shouldnt this be ruled a safety? Because that clearly happened in our game against baltimore last week and it was rouled a touchback

It happened with 3.30 left in the 3rd quarter, just after our field goal, if anyone wanted to Take a look themselves.

I know this is Bears week but i just found that play really Strange and cant get it out of my head

If momentum takes them into the endzone it is not ruled a safety. They rule was actually changed because it happened to IIRC Doug Evans on an INT.

Not sure it's similar.

But what happened to Evans happened to Thomas Davis in 2007 vs the Cowboys.

I thought the same thing at the time. I was freaking out about it because f*ck momentum that should be a damn safety. Returners need to have the awareness to get out of the end zone if their own momentum takes them back in, before kneeling the ball.

I saw it too but then the commentators didn't even touch on it. The returner was clearly in the field of play it took a weird hop he touched it and then went back in the endzone I thought it was clearly a safety but they didn't even mention why it wasn't.

      No, you're right. It doesn't mean you can't call out his flaws and poor play. But it also doesn't mean you can't admit when he plays well and shows improvement. Not you personally, just in general I mean.

      I will say, I do think there's a version of Bryce that could be really successful as a high-volume passer in a spread-based offense built around quick throws and timing-based intermediate throws with deeper throws schemed up around them. I actually think the power run based offense we're running is a poor fit for Bryce as it requires him to play under center far more often. It's a very traditional offensive approach whereas I think a scheme that spreads defenses out and lets Bryce distribute the ball quickly with anticipation and accuracy is the sweet spot for him. The key, of course, is to find a way to run the ball efficiently out of those formations. Our personnel right now (backs and OL) aren't good fits for that style of offense and I'm not sure it's a scheme Dave Canales favors very much either.

      I root for him, and I hope for the best, as does essentially everyone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t call out flaws and bad plays. And that’s what a lot of people get wrong.  I hope I’m wrong and that he continues to improve a lot, I just doubt it. But I’ve been wrong before
