NFL 2015

[NTA]

Skills like catch and run? Lower your body position?<br><br>
No fucking doubt the playbook stuff is difficult, and that deserves applause. I've given it.<br><br>
But you're severely underestimating how big the transition is for kickers, going from e.g. a Sherrin to the pointy seed used in the NFL, and the physiology differences to suit the reasons behind punting. <br><br>
Hang time and the RIGHT distance, and the accuracy required, to be produced in any situation on a narrow field. The goal appears to be not to hit a team mate on the chest - who can run a lead on a field 140m wide in the AFL - but to isolate the runner without sending it too far into their end of the field.

Hayne fumbles on his first touch in the NFL

[canefan]

Reggae Bush is hurt, probably out for the game. Hayne might get some runs at RB

[mariner4life]

<p>oh dear, what happened with the fumble?</p>

[canefan]

Those black uniforms are horrible

No consequences though as SF get the ball back without Minnie scoring

[Bovidae]

<p>Hayne will need to shake the fumble off.  Agree about the 49ers uniforms.</p>

<p>How about the Cowboys win over the Giants yesterday?</p>

[canefan]

Second Vikings punt ends up in the seats, Hayne running on the spot (trying to keep warm?) as he goes to the sideline. Welcome to special teams in the NFL.

[canefan]

Hayne at RB just made a small gain, no fumble!

[NTA]

<p>Just realised I've got Foxtel Play on a 2 week free trial. Might queue that up while I'm sitting here at home, working.</p>

[canefan]

Two plays later he makes a catch slips his marker and makes a 7 yard run

[NTA]

<p>Some bloke from the Vikings just dropped one cold. Punt to Hayne, returns a few yards.</p>

[mariner4life]

<p>Holy shit, i am actively invested in seeing him do well! I'm actually a bit nervous. Great story</p>

[NTA]

<p>"Roughing the kicker"? Barely fucking touched him. Try the NRL buddy ;)</p>

[NTA]

<p>Flag down as the cheerleader's breasts fill my screen shortly after some dude runs one in 85 yards for the 49ers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Illegal block.</p>

[canefan]

49ers get a kick return taken to the house waived off

[NTA]

<p>Carlos Hyde delivering some yards for SF</p>

[NTA]

<p>Hayne gets a turn, makes a few, but gets swallowed on a similar play to Hyde's last 2.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>QB sneak as it opens up for him, and he ignores Hayne, then gets a flag for late tackle. Good call actually because Hayne was covered.</p>

[NTA]

<p>Carlos Hyde scores - nice spin.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>49ers up 7-zip with less than a minute in the half.</p>
