I didn't see it and came into the game in the middle of the 1st. I thought it was a legit kick return- not that piece of poo

Hold on now...Chicago player hit him before the ball was there and he was smart enough to cover the ball and not quit until the whistle blows. So how is this a poo play?

I loved the return, but realistically, he should have been more aware and called for the fair catch. This was amazing, and GREAT awareness to get up and get the ball, but him bobbling every other punt is dangerous. It's gonna hurt us if he doesn't get it sorted out.

For those calling for us to replace him, the answer can't be on the roster, or he would be replaced. He's the best we got, and signing a guy JUST to return punts is not our best option right now. We stick with him and hope he gets it sorted. Hell, it's his only real job right now.

This is about him as a returner. Not WR

 

i was responding to amcoolio...browns career is already more productive than pilhares, edwards, and robinson etc...so condemning him as a bust as those guys all were is incorrect to me. he's just not a good return man

Hm, odd.

 

The official rulebook (I have no idea what you linked) says this:

 

 

Well, multiple times I have seen the kicking team touch the ball, and then the receiving team picks it up and runs with it. See below:

 

http://www.timesrecordnews.com/sports/columnists/illegal-touching-adds-options-to-a-kick-return

 

 

Play One — After punting from its own 40-yard line, a kicking-team player touches a rolling football at the opponent's 20-yard line. The rolling football is scooped up at the 18-yard line by an opponent, who carries the football to the 38-yard line, where he is hit and fumbles. The kicking team recovers the football at the 41-yard line. What is the result of this play?

Answer — Because of the violation for illegal touching (when the kicking team is the first to touch the kicked football beyond the line of scrimmage), the receiving team retains possession at the spot of the illegal touching. It is first-and-10 for the receiving team at the 20-yard line.

While the violation gives the receiving team a "free" chance to advance the football, this privilege is canceled if there is a live-ball penalty enforced on either team.

it wasn't a legit return based on every other return he has had.. he has fumbled 2 of them and fair caught one where he had a great chance to advance it into their territory.. he has looked shaky/scared when he is back there.

 

this punt return, however great it was, it was still a fluke..

Like I said, mine came from the NFL rulebook. Either way, whatever it is you quoted said this:

There was a live ball penalty.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
