Punters aren’t real football players Tony said The last thing we need is for a punter to goof up our perfect season with only two games to go Linebackers are too slow said Nolan Even the good ones You do your part and I’ll do mine The Phoenix’s special teams units lined up for the punt Nolan
took his spot 13 yards behind the line of scrimmage At center Luis looked back through his own legs as he prepared to snap the ball As a fellow special teams player Luis was Nolan’s good friend and a very reliable long snapper Right into my hands Luis Nolan said
When Nolan gave the signal Luis shot the ball through his legs in a perfect spiral Nolan nabbed the ball held it with outstretched arms and took two quick steps forward On the third step he dropped the ball Boom Nolan sent the ball flying with a hard kick The ball flew to the other
side of the practice field By the time it came down out of the sky players from the punting unit had already collected under it and were waiting to tackle The punt returner waived one hand in the air to signal a fair catch and caught the ball on the six-yard line Great punt Nolan said Coach Lewis
