If so, I get it somewhat. Often those guys have every ounce of weight on that leg for a short burst and if you roll into it...well nothing good can happen.

That being said, blocked punts are a game changer and this is likely to make them even more rare than they are.
I think it's the plant leg as it was last night. It was the right call according to the new rules but I do feel for the rushers whether it's to the kicker or QB as the margins for error are so razor thin now.
