You should forward it to the fricktard who wrote the rule Honestly, how many yards can the returner gain from bobbling the ball? It is a terribly written rule

Good point.

To the dude who said our player should get chewed out for it...come on. I do expect the players to know more about the rules than I do. But, with that said, to both know about this idiotic rule and be able to keep yourself from diving at a muffed punt would be quite an accomplishment. We shouldn't have rules where you have to run avoid a loose ball.

shite happens.

If you had bothered to read the rule you're saying is terribly written, you'd see that the answer to your question is zero; when a fair catch is called, the ball is spotted where the first contact is made even if it is bobbled forward before securing it.

The idiots in this thread haven't read the rule, or don't understand the distinction between the different rules that apply to a fair-catch as opposed to a regular catch.

The rule is that if you bobble it forward, it gets placed where you originally touched or.
