I know what you are saying. The first thing he should have done is secure the ball. If he thought the defenders were too close that he wouldnt be able to do this he should have called the fair catch. Once you catch the punt it should take a split second to secure the ball. For some reason he decided to start running before having the ball properly secured which puts the blame on him. I mean yes it was a fluky strip but something that was easily preventable.
