I would also spew at the lack of situational awareness if the kicker was ours. I'm not saying I wouldn't question if it was legal or not but the guy more or less kicked it straight into Joe who was within his rights to be there IMO. The stand rule on top of players wanting/needing to play on quickly, can make things a bit difficult to know exactly what is and isn't legal IMO.Nope, there was clearly another Suns player who was much much closer to Joe than Hollands. I'd commend Joe for maintaining focus on the ball carrier rather than turn his back and run away like the rest of the Lions players. He was the only player on our side who was situationally aware of what was unfolding and potential to intercept it. He got lucky for being attentive, good on him.
Again, Joe had the excuse to be there due to Suns players 2 and 10, so you can't suddenly flip the argument saying he shouldn't have paid attention to what Hollands was doing and just maintain his focus on his direct man.
To keep it fair, if it happens to us - I'd again commend that opposition player for being switched on and able to cash in from the turnover.
If I am following my man who is running past the ball carrier as play on is called and I being within arms reach of the ball carrier at the time tackle him is it 50 or HTB?
