It was discussed during the game on TV and replays clearly show that he jumped in the air, missed the ball, missed the kicker but when he landed he rolled a couple of times and at the end of his roll hit the kickers back leg.  Not a 15 yarder but a 5 yarder.

I will concede to the fact that maybe attempting to block the punt in that situation maybe not the best idea, however when the punter is in the endzone you put a lot of pressure on the punter to get the ball off quickly and increase the chances of a mistake.  I could be wrong but I don't believe our punt blocking has been spectacular this year so I still don't think it was a bad call to make.

I'm generalizing in some of the topics I brought up - we have "some" people on here who are always complaining about the conservative play calling (which I don't completely disagree with) but when decisions are made to be more aggressive those same people complain about how the playcalling.  IMO opinion 50% (not a scientific based percent) of the mistakes that made the playcalling look bad were poor execution not poor coaching decisions.  I can't stress enough that I'm not trying to give the coaching staff a pass or claim the offense has looked good but the issues are just as much poor execution.
