I know Doom's been leading the way on the squib kick discussion today, but I wanted to get your guys' take on what essentially seems like a squib punt. It's basically a line drive punt aimed at the sideline that seems to be handled in a similar manner by the return team. Because of the velocity/trajectory of the punt, my returner couldn't get over to it in time to catch it, so it ends up skipping along the field, and seems very difficult to pick up.
It also makes the camera jerk around really quickly like those punts in the preseason when the kicker was subbed into the game...which is a bit disorienting. Even by the time the ball gets to you, the kicking team is all over you anyway. It just feels very similar to the squib kick to me and seems like a questionable way to avoid a return. Has anyone run into this or have any feelings on it? I appreciate any insight anybody has here.
