Unless they have changed another rule, the ball is live once it has traveled 10 yards.
So...would a kicking team not be able to pooch kick the ball in a looping in air style with an aim at it landing about 13 yards down field and as long as they can catch it in air effectively be uncontested?
I know that would take a pin point kick and a fast "receiver" to pull it off, but where is the flaw in my plan?
