In college, once the ball is snapped, everyone can go downfield. Don't need the hang time that the NFL needs. Also, that would be why rugby-style punters are liked as they take an extra second or so to get the ball off enabling the coverage team to get further downfield.All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!

I suspected that might be the case. It explains a lot about very effective college punters who just don't transition well into the NFL.Originally posted by Cheesehead Craig View PostIn college, once the ball is snapped, everyone can go downfield.

What's the NFL rule? Everyone has to wait until the ball is punted?One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

Gunners can take off at snap, everyone else needs to wait. Was the same way in high school for me.Originally posted by Maxie the Taxi View PostWhat's the NFL rule?

Pete Mortell worked out pre-draft for Zook, Thompson and Wolf. He seems to be from Green Bay as his grandfather and father were/are the Game Clock operators at Lambeau Field.

According to this article, released in January of this year, http://www.hngn.com/articles/170982/...ers-report.htm TT was really interested Beniquez Brown, the ILB free agent from Miss. St. signed by the Packers after the draft. This could be someone to keep an eye on. The author of the article had a third round grade on Brown. I've seen some other reaction surprised that he was not drafted. Hopefully TT got a steal.
This is also a good article on Brown from Packer Report. A momma's boy, a preparation/film rat...what's not to like. http://http://www.scout.com/nfl/pack...-plays-for-momLast edited by Carolina_Packer; 05-04-2016, 05:59 AM."Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts." -Daniel Patrick Moynihan

Draft Insider had him rated a 4th round prospect, and the #7 ILB. Strange he wasn't taken. http://www.draftinsider.net/reports/...Beniquez-BrownOriginally posted by Carolina_Packer View PostAccording to this article, released in January of this year, http://www.hngn.com/articles/170982/...ers-report.htm TT was really interested Beniquez Brown, the ILB free agent from Miss.

By draft day, the sites I trust had him as a 7th round pick or UDFA. The encouraging thing is that McGinn is one of the sources that had him as draftable. McGinn had him as the #17 ILB. He tested poorly at the combine, and he's not very big. Then again, a lot of ILBs in this draft tested poorly. Reggie Ragland, Tyler Matakevich, Scooby Wright, Stephen Daniels, and Kentrell Brothers are tested as poorly, but most of those other guys have the size advantage on Brown."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted Thompson
