Ya’d think this would teach players to stay in bounds and away from the opposing team while out of bounds.

Since he was out of bounds wouldn't that cause a penalty had he touched the ball on the punt?

"Ya’d think this would teach players to stay in bounds and away from the opposing team while out of bounds."

Caroll was a gunner on a punt. TWO Jets players pushed him out of bounds as he started running downfield. It is normal for gunners to get pushed out, and make their way back in bounds.

If you watch the video both Jets players stand over Caroll briefly waiting for him to try to get up.

The Dolphins player has NOTHING to learn from this.

Coaches, at every level, in every sport, have a very clear line they cannot cross. They cannot touch a player, especially an opposing player, during play.

I wonder if those 5 guys were placed there to try and disrupt the gunners during punts.
