I was having this discussion with some friends a few weeks ago and wasn't sure of the answer to this question:
Let's say someone is attempting a long FG and you have someone in the back of the endzone to return a short kick. If the kick gets right to the crossbar and the player is able to jump up and block it before it goes over, is that allowed? I realize it's a situation that would probably never occur but if you put a really tall player back there with a good vertical leap, it would be something interesting to try.
I can't see why it wouldn't be allowed but it's something that I've never considered before.
