No PI on Punt pass
Posted on 12/8/19 at 7:36 pm

I don’t understand this BS. So the rule is you can’t have PI on a punt play. So please tell me what is the requirements for it to be a punt formation? You had a QB in the backfield. You don’t have to declare you are punting to an official. The rule is bullshite unless you can tell me the requirement for it to be a punt formation or it’s required to tell an official it’s a punt? (Which you don’t have to obviously)

its simple, they lined up in punt formation, thats what determines how they officiate the rules there
as a gunner they are allowed to block and hand check you the whole way down field
payton drew up a play that by rule never had any chance to work
even still holding could have, and should have, been called on that but its not reviewable

Wrong, what makes him a gunner and not a WR on that play? How did he declare himself a gunner? You have no answer.

The explanation on the broadcast was laughable. Ok you can’t call PI, fine, but you sure as well can call holding.

But why can’t there be PI? What is the reasoning? No one can answer this bc the rule is bulkshit. If that’s the rule what makes it punt formation. That had to be defined if that rule exist

wrong, as soon as they lined up in punt formation he is a gunner, it doesnt even matter if they change formation again, he still is considered a gunner until a time out is called or the play ends

Again what makes it a punt formation. You can’t answer that. I’m waiting. There is no such thing. Every play could be a punt formation. Same number of people have to be on and off the line like every other play. Is it a judgment call?
There is no definition of this so the rule is bullshite.

I would like an official explanation of punt formation. we had a QB in deep shotgun formation with one wr split out wide. As usual NFL officials screwed up and were clueless.

The answer is simple but let me simplify it even more for you. When you line up in a punt formation you can have 2 and only 2 men wide. Those two men are called gunners. If you are lined up wide, you are a gunner, it is that simple.

Correct. Taysom Hill is a QB, not punter.
Posted on 12/8/19 at 7:55 pm to mdomingue
So what makes wide receiver not a gunner when he is lined up wide on 4th with the quarterback in shotgun?
Posted on 12/8/19 at 7:56 pm to Pintail
Great question. No idea.
Posted on 12/8/19 at 7:56 pm to TigerJeff
Domingue is saying that the alignment defines the formation, not the personnel... which makes sense

I believe the rule is there because typically that guy guarding the gunner is running downfield blocking as he is allowed, and they would never know if it was being faked because they arent looking back at punter.
It's crazy that some of you cant all of a sudden tell what a punt formation is. You guys must always be on the edge of your seat on 4th down then, being so clueless.

Right Saint Nation it’s bad form to ask legitimate questions... don’t you know the wife beater-undershirt wearing crowd expects you to trash great players like Jordan, and Kamara for wearing an earring?
Posted on 12/8/19 at 8:14 pm to TigerJeff
I mean, my wife doesn't know shite about football and she could tell you everytime a team goes into punt formation so it cant be that difficult

I'll make it simple for you on what makes it a "punt formation", is a player 10 or more yards behind the LOS ready to receive the snap. The officials also afford the snapper protection in this scenario.

Didnt you read above? This is now called deep shotgun. The first time I saw the guy kick the ball from deep shotgun, it confused the frick out me.............when I was 4

yes... a punter normally stands back what... 12-15 yards behind that LOS
that's the ONLY time any one lines up that far back is punt formation
plus he had an up-man (blocker about midway between line & punter)
therefore the punt rules are in effect... which... whatever fine
but HOLDING... that SHOULD'VE been called
and then the next SF drive being extended by a holding call that was ticky tack at best... just...
