Not sure if it's come up before, apologies if it has.
I was recently playing a game, when I rolled a blitz. My opponent told me that he had been informed that you resolve the blitz before the ball lands, meaning I was unable to pick the ball up and pass it. I thought I should be able to, as the blitz decription said it was a free turn.
Which is correct? |

| But you can certainly put yourself in the position to pick up the ball when it lands to get possession of it to start off the game. |

Actually, you can put yourself in position to catch the ball when the kick-off lands. As this is like catching an inaccurate pass/bouncing ball, catching is more difficult than just picking it up. |

Oh yes. But worth it for the look on your opponents face when you have been able to build a cage partway up the pitch, and your centre player catches the ball 
In countless games I've only been able to pull that off once... |

That is generlly what I meant, but thank you for clarifying that.
Trust me, its a big surprise when you roll a blitz, break through their scrimmage line, get your full movement into their zone than catch the ball. I did it to a Dark Elf player once with my Norse team. He nearly cried when I walked in for the touchdown on my turn. |

| I had a silly game against Chaos with WE where I had four blitzes in the game and got into his half, formed a cage and caught the ball deep in half. Although once I didn't catch it, but it was still in a bunch of my TZ once it came to rest. My opponent was laughing hysterically by the end since there was nothing he could do. I think I won 6-0 or something like that. |

| I recently had a blitz where I go all set up with a gutter runner waiting for the ball to come down only to miss the catch and since the catch part was not part of the blitz action I could not use a reroll it. |
