Spread Punt

In every game that I have seen this scheme, there has been a block. Right up the middle. This is how htey did it. They put their three fastest athletes and sent them right up the middle gaps and they jumped OVER the three personal protectors using htem as leverage and blocked it. I think this is a gimmick scheme that will be a mewmory in the future.

I am in NC right now and we did the spread punt all year and only had one punt blocked. On that punt we had a low snap. A coaching friend of mine has been doing it for three years and not one blocked. The advantage to the punt is the coverage you get. Teams have a hard time setting up a return. For the teams that rushed us up the middle, we would fake punts on them. They can only put so many inside or they will be out flanked. Our splits up front are three yards across, the punter is 14 yards deep, personal protectors are 7 yards deep. If you have a good snapper and three big kids at personal protector it is hard to block.
