Wow, back in the day I use to live a stone's throw from Warner Center. Don't think I'd recognize the place if those renditions became reality.

I don't know what the CFL rules are but this is a forward pass to a WR who catches the ball behind the LOS and then punts it. The play would also be a legal 4th down play in the NFL. However, in the NFL it would just be a downed/covered punt and since it was untouched by the defense it would automatically result in a change of possession, just like any other punt.

If this is in lieu of a standard kickoff restart/onside kick the issue would be the need to recover the ball 10 yards down field - which doesn't happen in this example. This is no different than a kickoff where the kicker kicks the ball 1 yard and dives on it, which would obviously be a penalty.

In the NFL, I’m not going to say I’m certain because I’ve never seen it tried, but I’m pretty sure you cannot catch a forward pass and then punt the ball even if the forward pass is behind the LOS. Heck I’m close to certain :noidea:

Regardless the odd part was that they get the ball back in the CFL if they do this? That’s nuts.
