    Montgomery's kickoff play

    Zook referred to Cobb's play several years ago, saying he replays the video of it frequently for his return men. He said Montgomery has seen it at least four times already this year alone.

    He went on to say that Montgomery had a new wrinkle in his situation, because the kick went into the endzone, and then backed out. If it had been a punt, it would have been an automatic touchback. Because it was a kickoff, it remained a live ball until covered.

    I think Cobb invented this in High School.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Patler, this isn't new at all, I remember Cobb doing this some time back.

    All in all, it was a heads up great play, all things considered.

    Weird that Montgomery thought of it. Seems like something Cobb would do.

    What was interesting in this situation though is that apparently the ball went into the endzone and then backed out. I think that rule is different if it's a punt.

    Good thing Montgomery was back there, I don't think any other Packer return man would have had the sense Montgomery did.

    That's good on Monty and the Packers for taking advantage, but it doesn't seem right that a player can run out of bounds, touch the ball when it remains in bounds, and have it work to pretty big advantage. If it happens another time or two this year, the rules committee might take that one up for review.

    I agree. The logic of the rule escapes me.

    Exactly, Cobb was in the same situation a few years back and didn't do it.

    Actually, I remember Cobb doing this in a game a few years ago.

    I'm not sure someone like Cobb, from such a backwoods university as Kentucky, would have the intelligence to make such a brilliant play. Only a Stanford alum could deduce such a fabulous ploy.

    It's no different than having a foot out of bounds and catching a pass. It's ruled out of bounds. This one just looked odd because of how much he stretched to bring the ball in.

    Not quite. Catching a pass with a foot out of bounds means the receiver is out of bounds and the ball is dead (but not out of bounds). The kick never went out of bounds; intuitively it would make more sense to say the ball is dead where it was first touched by the player whose foot is out of bounds.

    Well, except that if you're out of bounds on a pass play, the other team doesn't get penalized 38 yards. I really question why a player who is out of bounds should be allowed to touch the ball that is in bounds. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
