Partly, but had he not done a side step, that one wouldve been blocked too. Watch it again.

He didn’t sidestep and the rush didn’t get to him until after the kick was away. This is not abnormal pressure for a punt by any stretch
 
His blocked kick really was only a little shorter than his non-blocked kick. We just need a coverage guy behind the punter.
 
Interested to see how this guy punts this week. JRob and Vrabel going to get ROASTED all around if he sucks again.

That's the thing, there must be some reason for sticking with FedEx over Allen. They've obviously seen a lot more of them than we have

Um, my understanding is the dude from last week who had his punt blocked for a TD is, get this, STILL on the roster. The dude cut is the guy from the week before, who actually looked pretty decent.

Wow...Doesn’t surprise me, we do stupid things as such. Lol

Oh come on. You cant blame the punter for that. Completely unreasonable expectation.

So in your mind, any blocked punt is the punters fault, as they could have simply foreshadowed the block and tucked and taken the hit?

Can you imagine the abuse a punter would get if they did this? There'd be 5 times as many people saying he should have kept going with the punt as there was every chance the blocker wouldnt get there in time to touch the ball.

Uh yea, I can. He has two eyes and was looking straight forward. He’s played football for years. I get it if the punt was gonna be close, that’s normal, but there was zero chance he was getting that punt off. Not a damn person on that field felt otherwise in that moment too. I’d argue that trying to punt it and take a hit may hurt him more than just falling on it or taking off....

I agree, he had a guy bearing down on him from his left. Possibly he took his eyes off of the ball.
But I thought the other guy did great the preceding game.

They went with Daniels because they thought Allen’s trajectory was too low and he’d be susceptible to blocks. Oh the irony.
