i can't find anything in the nfl rulebook about it, but i know on kickoffs, that is true.
on punts, the returner must have full possession of the ball for it to be a true fumble. if the returner does not have full possession of the ball and fumbles, and does not recover, the ball is therefore muffed and the punting team grabs possession.
I have never understood what the ball being "uncatchable" has to do with pass interference. Especially since I have seen pass interference called on the opposite side of the field from where the pass was thrown. Keep it simple and consistent. Either the defender interferes with the receiver or he doesn't.Originally Posted by dougdirt
