What the Rats don't understand is that they're taking their punter and their gunner's lives into their own hands because honestly, the Bengals are unbalanced.
You get those guys that riled up, there's no telling what they'll do.
Punter stepped out of bounds, play is over? So? Hit him in the knees at full speed. What ya gonna do? Give up 15 yards? If you''re lucky you might get offsetting penalties and a replay of the down with another punter. 2 for the price of one.
It's a bush league move by the Ravens. You want to have the Punter wait until the last possible moment to punt, or you want to have him run out of the back of the end-zone, fine. But don't hold every freakin' guy on the defense. That's weak.
