3 protectors and wide splits on the line. Seen it all week and don't see the reason for it. Anyone coach who can explain this?

Better coverage lanes for the punt team. Also, the punter kicks the ball directly behind the "pocket" formed by the 3 shields.

I can't believe this is the first time you've seen this, but a lot of people are doing it and that doesn't happen because it isn't successful.

The UVA punter screwed the 2nd block up last night because he didn't roll behind the shield for whatever reason.

FWIW, if it's done correctly it's almost impossible to block.
