So, now that we are all clear on Weem's heads up play on the kickoff Sunday, a friend and I were discussing the rule and wondered about how it could be exploited for greater gains.
Is there anything that prohibits a lateral or backward pass following an "illegal touch" by the kicking team?
Our idea was why not have a returner in the endzone ready to have the ball shoveled to them to try a return? The Weems play definitely caught the Vikings off guard and I would assume more teams would be in a state of confusion that of which we could take advantage.
Anybody?
