It makes punts harder to block, especially since leaping has been made illegal. Even in a tradition pint formation you’ve likely got a few slow guys out there anyway.

I've seen AU block one and I've seen the punter hit the back of the wall.

Punting seems to change from one personal protector to a wall of 3 with a swinging door to spread punt formation to rugby style.

Yet all the NFL teams look similar.

Yep. Bama got penalized for "Lei Ping" last night against The Moo.

First time I've seen that called.
