Montgomery's kickoff play

[Patler]

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.

Didn't Cobb do something similar a couple of years ago....?

You apparently didn't read my post to start this thread???

I think Cobb invented this in High School.

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.

[BZnDallas]

No, I'm pretty sure you're all wrong. Cobb did it a couple years back, I totally remember that shit.

Cobb did the same thing a couple years back

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.
