JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 After what was the final Miami punt of the 2nd half with 6:14 left, which was fair-caught by Harty, Miami long-snapper Blake Ferguson (brother of our long-snapper Reid Ferguson) came down and asked him for the ball. Wonder why... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder why... Saw that. Was wondering the same thing. Might be something as simple as that is one of Miami's "kicking balls" and he wants to make sure it gets back to the right place. Probably happens all the time and we only noticed it here because Harty was confused and thought Ferguson was coming in for a handshake so there was that awkward, extended exchange between them.

JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 (edited) Rapp kept the INT ball, grabbing it even though he was injured. After the final kneel down, Allen tossed the ball to Harty who was in the backfield. So players keep game balls all the time, but I wonder what was special about that one. It's not like their punter ain't gonna punt against the Chiefs... Edited January 11 by JÂy RÛßeÒ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I saw that as collecting one of the kicking balls to make sure he has it to use later. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe it was deflated to the pressure their punter likes and he was wanting to hide the evidence, keeping it out of the ref's hands. Interesting... 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevewin Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Think it is as others have said - just getting the kicking ball back, which are different than the regular balls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lagoon Blues Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) Saw it too...I had wondered if they had possibly thought it might be the last time the 2 brothers play against each other for some reason. Just pure speculation. Or, maybe he keeps one from each game they play each other? Edited January 11 by Lagoon Blues 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) I’m guessing that without the streaming exclusivity ($) on the game the NFL asked the players to cut back on the number of balls used. Every little bit helps! Edited January 11 by SoCal Deek 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 (edited) I hit up Reid on Twitter to see if he knows... We'll see if he responds. Tagged Deonte too so maybe one of them will share something. Edited January 11 by JÂy RÛßeÒ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A slightly deflated ball will result in more consistency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
