Why not put Allen on the punt team…?

Why not just have Allen return punts?  He's a great runner and tough to bring down.

 

🤫

This is what I thought the post was going to be.  Don’t know that I’m relieved to read what it actually was.  
Have we jumped the shark in week 1?

"The guy between the snapper and the punter" is known as the "personal protector".

 

Think about what that name means as far as that guy's primary responsibility on a punt, and whether you want our QB playing that role.

 

I mean obviously they would scheme it in a way that Allen isn’t at risk of getting hit, I’m not suggesting he stays in to block a punt rush. 
 

I guess what I’m thinking is you’re basically running a regular offensive play with Haak in as an option in case the play isn’t there scheme wise.

So without that blocker we just end up with a lot more blocked punts (and probably injured punters) with your “plan” then. Seems legit. What else have you schemed up?

Not if you go for it a bunch and the punter is a decoy. He’s one step punting it out of the end zone if he gets it basically. 
 

Almost like a ruby play. They run it on the jet sweep and lateral to the punter to punt it down. Basically an option play with the punter as a part of it. Keep Allen out of it completely if you want. Or teach a qb that couldn’t quite make it to punt and carry them as a dedicated special team player for 4th downs inside the 45.

i think you’re vastly overestimating how much time the punt team would have in these situations. Sounds like you’re trying to apply high-school/D3 trick play garbage (or rugby? Lol) to the NFL.

On punts inside the 50, where Allen plays the guy between the snapper and the punter. Then put McKenzie in one gunner spot Kumero at the other and run a jet sweep. If the play is there, they snap it to Josh, if not Haak does a pooch punt and pins them inside the 20, or bashes it through the end zone. 
 

Are there motion rules if you kick a punt that are different from regular plays?

 

 

And he could also return kicks, because he's obviously a good runner and he could throw laterals across the field hard and fast. Yeah, we're really onto something here.

 

Maybe even play some linebacker.
