looking for the clip of kick-off block from NFL

[ric1287]

Its from a couple years ago, i think it was the Seahawks (or some green team).

It was on a kick-off and one guy from the SH dives and destroys 2 guys from the other team at the same time with the block. Can't find it anywhere, anyone know?

Youtube it somehow? I still can't get enough of THIS hit Darrell Reid put on Chris Henry in the Colts/Titans game Sunday night. That was just vicious!

I don't believe it's possible to block a kick-off. Are you thinking of a punt?

Agreed, i don't think it's possible to block a kick-off....

I think it was a college game with the Pitt Panthers last year. One guy blocked two people and sprung Darrelle Revis for a score. (This was on a punt though.)

If this isn't what you were looking for, its pretty damn close.

On the kick-off, the defense is lined up 10 yards off the ball. Oddly, after 5 minutes of searching, I could not find one rule that says they *have* to line up at least 10 yards back.


Better question: why don't they wave for a fair catch more often on onsides kicks, especially those "perfect" kicks that are high in the air and only go 10 yards??

OP: Is this the one at 02:20?

EDIT: austin316 posted a better video of it.

Onside kicks are drilled into the ground and then bounce 'perfectly' up. Once the ball touches the ground, you can't call for a fair catch.

The ball must travel 10 yards (or be touched by the rec team) to be considered legal, no point in being closer.

On a punt the ball belongs to the opposing team once it crosses the line of scrimmage. It doesn't become a live ball after it does so till that team touches it, the reason for the fair catch.

A kickoff becomes a live ball for either team after traveling 10 yards from the kicking spot, hence the reason the receiving team will always have a large portion of its players at that spot.

AHHHHHHH!!!!!! So THAT'S why they kick it into the ground to bounce. For a long time, I thought that I was wrong about which way would be easier to kick a ball.

In my search for kick-off rules to verify that they had to line up at least 10 yards back (I understand why they'd want players at that spot; if on-sides kicks weren't legal, those players wouldn't be up there), I did find that it was legal to signal for a fair catch on an onsides kick. That's why I wondered why they didn't do it more often. Kicking it into the ground so that it bounces explains perfectly well why they kick it that way.

wow, didn't see any of these replies

-yes i realize you can't block a kickoff, i worded it wrong i guess, but i meant the receiving team blocked the D from tackling the return man.

-the video posted was close, but i know for sure that it was an NFL game and that he made a diving shoulder block on 2 guys at the same time. Been searching for this forever and can't find it again.
