Well, this one took some patience. Total 86 yard punt.

Dumbest play by R to not jump on the ball.  They lost 40+ yards in field position.

Maybe not so dumb.  They didn't risk a potential muff, and who'd ever have thought the ball would roll that far?

I would have stood in the path of the ball just behind the travelling gaggle and let them come to me.  When the K player couldn't back up any more because I was in the way, he has two options: 1.) Get out of the way, allowing me to down the ball or; 2.) Stay in my way and allow the ball to touch his feet (first touching).

yeah, but the lead gaggler could turn around and block you away from the ball

One kid (#14) is aparently the scholar of the bunch and realizes what the wind is doing so tries to keep the others from blocking the wind.  Always good to have a honor student or 2 on the team.

It's an announcer, what do you expect?  They aren't hired for their erudite... um... wordiness.  >:D
