Shield Punt is physical and aggressive!

The Shield Punt gets players down the field FAST! The entire concept is built around getting what Fore calls the "front line seven" players off the ball quick on their way to the ball! This can be punishing for returners who make an attempt to actually return the ball. This clip is from Victor Valley College at San Diego Mesa College in 2017 when Fore was the Special Teams Coordinator at VVC.
Chris Fore is the author of the Shield Punt book available at www.ShieldPunt.com. Fore used the Shield Punt from 2002-2017, from 8 man football to the Junior College level. His teams punted 440 times, allowed just 1 touchdown, and had just 3 blocked! Not shabby!
