SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 20, 2019 Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) the pirouette. how w often does a team score on an on side kick? Edited October 20, 2019 by SlimShady'sGhost
Kelly the Dog Posted October 20, 2019 Posted October 20, 2019 The league changed the rules a year or two ago that made it much, much more difficult to recover an onsides, mostly by outlawing a team to load up on one side. And then not allowing the kicking team to get a running start. The funny thing about the Hyde play, which was awesome, was that is exactly how you want an onsides kick to be. Maybe a mite long but that kick is in the 90 percentile I would imagine considering how you would want it kicked. Hyde just made an extraordinary play. 10
BuffAlone Posted October 20, 2019 Posted October 20, 2019 question...Tasker kept saying "go down.go down". but he ran it back to go up 10. with 1:39 on the clock, no timeouts for Dolphins.would you have ran it back? or taken a knee?
Don Otreply Posted October 20, 2019 Posted October 20, 2019 No bloody idea, but will be watching to find out Go Bills!!! 1

Kneeling it out would have avoided risk of injuries on the following plays. 1

Taking a knee would’ve been smarter. But I could have sworn that in the past, you couldn’t advance an onsides kick recovery?
Kelly the Dog Posted October 20, 2019 Posted October 20, 2019 Just now, Doc said: Taking a knee would’ve been smarter. But I could have sworn that in the past, you couldn’t advance an onsides kick recovery? Not sure about this but I think if the kicking team catches it on a bounce like that they can't but the receiving team can. 2

I wonder if they changed it because I could have sworn that happened to the Bills one time and they brought the ball back to where he recovered it.

Since the above post shows the stats it looks like it's always been the rule. Just doesn't happen much. I honestly don't know though. No one seems to think there was anything unusual when he did it though. And obviously it is a "kick return" like any other. 1

I'd have gone down and I think he should have. But no big deal. Game was done in any event.

No rule change - the recovering team can advance and score - has happened 11 times since the 70’s. The Kicking team can not advance it - if they recover it - it is down where it is recovered.

LeGOATski Posted October 20, 2019 Posted October 20, 2019 Take the points and the win. What if something happens on the ensuing kneel-down or run? Don't play that game. Just score the TD. I guess he could've wasted time by running sideways a little more?

Wow. We own this !!!!! 1 1
