PLAY OF THE WEEK: | |
New this week | Play: Try Down from the B-3, quarterback A4 is in position to receive a shotgun snap. The snap is made by centre A79, A-3 bobbles the snap and the ball hits the ground. Running back A21 then recovers the ball and hands the ball to running back A33 at the B6. Running back A33 advances to the B-4 yard line where he is hit and fumbles the ball, the loose ball rolls to the B-1 yard line, where A33 recovers the ball and advances into Team B’s endzone.
|
Last week | Play: Team A 1st & 10 at the B-40. Team A run up the middle for 5 yards. Team A do no substitute at the end of the down, however Team B does. In an attempt to catch Team B with too many players on the field, Team A hurry to the line to quickly snap the ball. Team A gets set for 1 second, but before the ball is legally snapped, Wide Receiver A89 false starts. When the false start occurred Team B had 11 players in formation, two other replaced Team B players who departing where still on the field.

MECHANICS: | |
New this week | Game Situation: On a five man crew, when a running play goes to the opposite side of the field, what should a Wing Official do?
|
Last week | Game Situation: On a normal scrimmage down team A line up in an I-formation with 5 linemen numbered 50 through 79, and 3 receivers. A wide and a slot receiver line up on the Line Judge's side of the field. The wide receiver indicates to the Line Judge that he is on the line, the slot receiver makes no signal to the official and it is not clear if he is lined up on or off the line of scrimmage. Team A run a pass play, all receivers run patterns more than 3 yards down field and the QB throws a legal forward pass beyond the line of scrimmage. Ruling? Answer: No player should ever be ruled as being neither on or off the line – if in doubt consider him to be in a position to make things most legal. The covering official should rule the slot receiver off the line to make the play legal, there is no foul for ineligible downfield during the pass. It might be advisable to talk to the player or his coach to let him know he should establish his position with respect to the line of scrimmage more clearly. M3.4.1.d |
