Last kickoff

[Happy Panther]

I meant to address this earlier.

On the final kickoff with :04 left we lined up for an onsides but then goofed it downfield.

Shouldn't we have done the traditional onsides??

Or was :04 not enough time?

[The_Cannon]

Eh :04 wasn't enough time to really do anything the game was over by that point.

[TheRed]

Not only was it not enough time but we had no timeouts to stop the clock anyway...

Is this true? If we could have gotten possession of the onsides in :04 then we could have had a new play clock and one chance at a hail mary.

why wouldn't we have kicked the onsides?

[TheRed]

Well even if we somehow managed to come up with the ball our guy has to make it out of bounds in 3 seconds.

I just don't see it in that timespan.

[Happy Panther]

He would have been touched and down right?

[TruCatzFan]

Let it go... It's over and done with.

We have our first divisional game if the season coming up, and a chance to put Tge South on notice... And u guys want to argue about 4 seconds last game?

C'mon Maaaan...

[TheRed]

Uhhh I'm not arguing anything lol. I'm stoked for the saints game here.

Anyways, I assumed even in an onside that once you get the ball the clock will still run unless you call timeout or get out of bounds.

[Shotgun]

At least practice an onsides?

[cookinbrak]

Whoever recovered the kick would have been downed immediately. There would have been time for one play.

[riddel]

Mare did exactly what he should have done...play the ball behind the front line and give a gunner a chance at scooping the ball up and running it into the end zone. 4 seconds was not enough time to recover the ball, we had to pick it up and run it in for a TD.

That kick was planned exactly how it went down....we needed a lucky bounce and a fast gunner to retrieve the ball in stride, then run it in for a score.

[Seal (SmittyIsOurSavior)]

What Riddel said. There was nowhere near enough time for a tradish onside.

[Car123]

Onside kicks are not time consuming

3 seconds tops.

[Ccat]

Should have done the onsides. Clock doesn't start until someone touches the ball, and if the kicking team recovers, they are considered down right away. They do not need to run out of bounds.
