Would it be smarter to run slower, looking in the sky for a ball you can’t see well because it’s sky high, and then get blasted by a blocker, or run full speed towards where the kick returner is, where you know that ball is going 99% of the time

@@Prsethsun Yeah, I get you dont wanna be looking up in the sky while your running downfield. And that without some other instructions, you're most likely gonna react to what's happening in front of you. So if the receiving team starts drifting left, you would go left too (or vice-versa). That's exactly why I would huddle up briefly and tell my guys, "I'm kicking it to the right", so matter which way the blockers set up, my guys are going to go right. That way we dont fall for that stupid shit. And if they do try it, they'll be screwed. It wouldnt be that hard to do a quick huddle first.

Since I never punted a football in my life, it makes me an authority on the internet to raise this question: Why doesn’t the punting team call the side the ball is punted? I wonder every time I see one of those plays where the tacklers are chasing the guy on the wrong side of the field.

Obviously the answer is...the recieving team plans to do it. But it wouldn't work if everyone on the kicking team _knew_ exactly where the ball was going. Would it? No, it would not. So why not take 10 seconds to make sure everyone knows where youre gonna kick it? And if you don't think nfl punters can kick the ball exactly where they want to, you should check out some nfl punting practices. Those guys can drop it in a garbage can from 65 yards away.

The reason this fake works, is of course the punting team knows “Okay, it’s punt right so the ball is supposed to go right” and in practice, they’re going to practice blindly sprinting to where the returner is or where the ball is supposed to go. They PRACTICE watching where the returner goes, regardless of the play call because they know thats where the ball has to be going 99% of the time, that way even if the punter manages to somehow fuck up, they still have an idea of where the ball is going. They practice following where the returner goes.

I live in a country where we don't play American Football, as it is known outside of the USA, but I enjoy watching highlights from time to time. However, I can't wrap my head around the fake out under a punt, where the defending team makes the chasing team think the ball has gone to one side of the field, while the ball is actually going the other way, leaving the receiver with an open run back downfield. It means the kicking side's players are all bloody idiots, because they just blindly run upfield. None of them actually looks at the flight of the ball to see where they're supposed to go. No wonder receiving teams have cottoned on to the fact that it's easy to trick them into going the wrong way! I'm sure football fans could go into detailed explanations as to why this is clever, but to an outsider, it just makes football players look stupid. Or gullible.

Thats okay, this is a misconception a lot of people who don’t know football have, and as someone who does play American Football Ill explain. When you punt the ball to the other team, your goal is to tackle the punt returner (the guy who catches the ball and runs) as far back as you can, or secure the football. The other team is going to have blockers trying to block for said returner. So if you’re running, trying to keep track of a ball thats like 200 feet in the air, you’re running slower probably for one, and you’re likely to get absolutely blasted by someone on the opposing team. Whereas its much easier to sprint full speed ahead at where the returner is, because you know thats where the ball is going 99% of the time. It’s the same as say, walking across a road, at a non-crosswalk, looking into the sky with oncoming teaffic
