should not have any fair catching inside the 10.

It happens in real football, even though the guideline is to plant your feet at the 10 and don't catch anything you're forced to back-peddle to reach.

+1. if it doesn't bounce into the EZ and the other teams downs the ball, so be it.

but at least there aren't many muffed catches in GLB

Confidence and Vision are confusion to me...

Similar to when ball carriers run towards defenders. Is this because they have High Confidence, or Low Vision?
I shrug

It would be really cool if returners had the option of where to let it go, and for the ball to bounce based on tactics/build, so a boomer is more likely to get the touchback over the finesse guy.

I've seen this all Season and from all different Ball Carriers. So I agree with the shrug, lol.

-1 Fogie is right, I don't think it matters since Dots don't muff Punts.

As an option to the team and the returner, sure. +1
Mandatory? No. -1

Theo usually makes sense, but not on this one.

if optional, who would select the option to take the fair catch on the 4 vs the option to hope it bounces in for a touchback? its not a live ball that can be recovered if the receiving team doesn't touch it--it will either go out of bounds, be downed pretty much where the fair catch would have been or it will go into the endzone

the OP is saying that because there's a 50/50 chance it bounces in for a touchback, the PR shouldn't call for a fair catch and get stuck with crap field position. makes perfect sense to me.

I'm guessing LHF and myself at least would take the "no fair catch" route. I trust my returner builds and my ST setups well enough to not desire a fair catch even when it's within the 10 yard line. But the option should be available to those who desire it. At least, with it being an option, nobody can say "But I could've ran that one all the way back! Why does it force me to make a fair catch?"
