football question. lets say its a punt, and the receiving team calls for a fair catch

Posted by tRuMaN (aka Truman) Nov 11 '10, 19:37

right as he catches/after he catches, he shifts his weight slightly to one side, so that he gets clipped by one of the guys on the punting team.

is that a penalty?

Yes, the kicking team isn't supposed to be within [5] yards of him. - JaxSean Nov 11, 19:44 2

- Or not. I guess there's no "rule" of the 5 yards, they just can't interfere with the receiver's path to catch the ball. But, if the receiver initiates - JaxSean Nov 11, 19:49
