Umm. The clip shows a lack of effort by the punt team.

The punter looks more ridiculous than most punters do when "trying" to make a tackle. Just don't.

I'm sure the punters are told, "No heroics!" He was told to just tag the runner. He's not being evaluated on his tackling ability, and there is no sense for a punter to risk injury.

Looked like flag football.

Despite the poor tackling one thing is for sure. Gould is fast and he can somehow do a spin move at like 12 mph.

I'll go a different direction than the others in this thread:
Ant showed off good vision and excellent speed on the punt return. There were for sure a couple of low effort tackles that he ran through to get to the point where he could showcase that part of his game. He still showed off skills after that point, the agility of the spin move in stride, etc.

Looks like the 2 guys who whiffed were the Long Snapper and the Punter. They may both have been told to not try that hard on a tackle.

How is this different than any punter in a real game not named McAfee? (not necessarily a fan of him, just that he is famous for laying wood as a punter)

Good thing it's not a serious game.
