How can they be guilty of delaying the game if a timeout has just been called?

This. And he wants to keep his rhythm on the kick process. 3 straight time outs is what was bush league

 

[Philly Dawg]

So one team ices the kicker and the kicking team moves back 5? Makes sense.

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

A delay of game penalty for when the opposing team is choosing to, in fact, delay the game. Hmm... no. That would probably be the dumbest rule ever created.

 

[drt7891]

As a deterrent from letting kickers taking practice kicks during a dead ball. I’m not sticking up for OM... and I’m not dissing the kicker from taking them... just my opinion. Just think it’d be a worthy discussion to have at rules committees meetings. I think kickers gain an advantage by getting practice kicks.

 

[patdog]

His bout we eliminate the real delay of the game which all the damn time outs. Need a rule that you can't call 2 straight time outs. And reduce them to 4 per team per game, with no more than 3 in one half.

 

[drt7891]

Be real... we’d be salty as hell if we just lost to Arky like that and the kicker got to spot up take practice shots. I’m just saying it’s be a discussion worth having.

 

[LawDawg97]

Are you kidding? If the other coach wants to take a ******** timeout for no other purpose than screwing with a kicker....fire away. Maybe Luke will think next time before giving him the practice

 

[KurtRambis4]

The only reason

he got to take "practice kicks" was bc om called 10 TOs in a row.

 

[jakldawg]

It's like you're rewarding the icing team for being a dick. Should we penalize a QB if they chuck the ball downfield after the defense calls a TO and the center snaps it anyway?

 

[drt7891]

I don’t disagree. I’m just saying it’s a discussion worth having. Maybe if you want to ice a kicker, you have only one time to do it if they are in a kicking formation. Maybe you just don’t give a 17 and say “leave it as it is.”

The main question I’m getting is... is it fair that a kicker get an unobstructed practice shot during a dead ball timeout?

Another school of thought is that it’s a trade off for calling a timeout.

 

[goindhoo]

How about don’t call a timeout? Then he wouldn’t get practice kicks. Easy fix

 

[QuaoarsKing]

Just ban icing the kicker. It's been mathematically demonstrated not to work, so all it does is irritate fans.

 

[bulldogcountry1]

I've always wondered why all kickers didn't go ahead and take a practice shot in those situations. There isn't a rule against it, is it?

 

[patdog]

I'd be ok with letting him take a half dozen practice kicks during the time out.

 

[TrueMaroonGrind]

Yes we would be mad at Dan for taking the timeouts.

 

[Fogdog]

And I think we’re saying you’re wrong.

 

[xxxWalkTheDawg]

But kickers should be flagged for Delay of Game for taking practice kicks after a timeout whistle. I realize some are close, but that’s cheap, IMO that a kicker can just take a practice shot.

Arky Kicker got 3 spot-up practice shots before the real deal. Well after the timeout whistle.

that you kellum? Cause I listened to the end of their game on their broadcast and he was squealing on air about it.

 

[dog12]

How about this? As a deterrent to teams calling timeouts when the other team is kicking a FG, there's no penalty if the kicker takes a practice kick.

I'm not a fan of those timeouts . . . especially multiple timeouts.

 

[Chesusdog]

Absolutely not. If you're gonna ice the kicker, the game is already delayed by your timeout. Any sort of penalty called because he kicked it anyways would be really damn ticky tack bush league ****. If he was out there practicing in the middle of the actual timeout downtime I'd say you have a point, but right after the timeout is called while everyone is still down and set on the field, hell no.

 

[Fogdog]

No rule and it’s a smart thing for a kicker to do. Dirt is all by his lonesome on this one.

 

[Seinfeld]

That would be one way to handle it. I’m honestly not quite even sure what we’re arguing here. The OP thinks the iced kicker should be penalized for not getting properly iced?

SPS is a tough *** crowd. Made this man delete his OP

 

[Yellowbob]

Maybe already brought up but wasn't there a rule years ago that a team couldn't take back to back timeouts?

 

[ShrubDog]

Hell yeah!! DRT is back
