The ball isn't "dead" though. It's still moving.


So in your theory, you want the punting team to be able to knock the ball back to the one yard line every time? and let it come to rest there?

Or are you saying that you want the ball to be touched at the one with a finger tip and then bounce out of the back of the endzone but its ok because he downed it at the one with his finger?

when it hits a team punting the ball, it's dead

no

where they hit it, it's dead. that should be the consistent rule

either way, as long as it's consistent

why should a finger tip stop a ball that is moving backwards towards the end zone (that will be touched down before the end zone).
