They were trying to short kick it since we had left a big hole in our coverage on that kick off. We had five men close to the line and the other six were behind the twenty-five.
I'm with you Count. I really liked how he caught that kick off with his hands and not his body, then immediately took off running with no hesitation. That is how to return kicks. Too many of our guys catch it by making a basket with their arms and then look around to decide where to run. These two things lead to drops and stops.
That was a case of the kickoff team being in shock at how slow he was and they all ran past him. If he was at the goal line returning, he might make it to the 20 before the game is over.
