I agree with the original post. A team that blocks a punt should be rewarded for it. I'm a long time Charger fan but I agree they need to change this rule. I suppose they do need to word it carefully though because sometimes punts are partially blocked and this same sort of "muff" recovery could occur downfield and in that case the kicking team should be awarded the ball. Perhaps the rule could be modified in a way that includes a clause about the kick traveling a certain distance? Actually, this is just one of several rules that they need to review during this off season.
