PLAY OF THE WEEK: | |
New this week | Play: It is 4th and Goal at the B-5 yard line. Quarterback A12 receives the snap and runs to the B-2 where is hit and looses possession of the ball. A83 picks up the ball at the B-3 and runs into the endzone where he celebrates and makes a rude gesture to an opponent.
|
Last week | Play: Team A, 4th and 10 at the B-25, the game clock is running. Team A line up to attempt a field goal, holder A13 places a piece of tape on the ground near where he is kneeling to mark the spot where he will place the ball after it is snapped. The Field Goal is Good.

MECHANICS: | |
New this week | Game Situation: 4th and 12 at the A40. Punter A4 kicks the ball downfield. The ball hits the ground and is rolling around as returner B22 makes a 'get away' signal by waving both arms at waist level. The ball is rolling at the B12 when B22 races to the ball and picks it up. He runs to the A45 before he is tackled. Ruling?
|
Last week | Game Situation: When should the uncatchable pass signal (S17) be used? Answer: It should only be used when contact that would have been pass interference occurs on a pass that is uncatchable (M11.4.12, M12.4.13, M13.4.11, M14.4.13, M15.4.12). It should not be used when the pass was uncatchable but any contact was not pass interference. |
