I'm taking the punt block on myself. We had a timeout (after the Minutemen took a timeout) but didn't make the adjustments needed to stop the block.

I didn't want to punt, so we took the shot and we were fortunate enough to make it. It got us going, it gave us some life.

Earl blocked a punt the one time I put him on that unit, and then I took him off.

I'd rather get a block than a kill. It's more satisfying for me.

We used to have thigh pads which you could use to block, but they took them away completely. The thing is that the thigh is now completely exposed, and I've taken a few good shots off it.

I couldn't believe it. I went to try to block the ball and it just skimmed off my head. It's one of these things that can happen but I will come back stronger, ... Obviously I didn't want to score an own goal so it was not the best start in the world.
