If he releases the ball at his own 30, and it winds up at his own 31, that is a forward pass by one yard. It doesn't matter if by the time the ball gets to the 31, the player is at the 35. Seriously. Does anybody want the refs having judgment? It's a good rule. It is objective. Was the ball caught past where it was thrown? If so, forward pass. Easy. No judgment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would just be past the point you released it from. And in this case, the second dude was still behind/lateral to Leonard when he caught it. He wasn't ahead of Leonard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXsteeler Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 2 minutes ago, DannyB said: But it's only moving forward (while also moving laterally), because the carrier was running with it. He didn't propel the ball forward at all. So if a runner could run fast enough to give the ball enough momentum to go forward 50 yards before it hit the ground, could they “drop” it across the field as a lateral that way? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very clear rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrry32 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Colts should trade Marlon Mack. He deserves a chance to play somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean aside from being unrealistic, I don't know what the rule is. The player is not propelling the ball forward beyond the momentum it has gathered already. I dunno, it's an interesting aspect to the rule. And in this case I still really don't see the guy catching the lateral anywhere beyond Leonard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJaxxenGuy Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Having a bad run defence as the Ravens just feels so wrong. I hate this in the fabric of my being Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmart128 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 4 minutes ago, TXsteeler said: A still proves nothing Not saying the call was incorrect based off the way the rules is written. But this just proves the rules need to be rewritten and NFL has to review this. He clearly tossed ball behind him. He did not throw ball forward... momemtum of him falling forward carried that ball. And had the ball not his the players facemask then the ball would have been released and caught at the 24 the bounce off the facemask posponed him actually catching the lateral. So technically you can throw ball backwards but if ball bounces off a player and goes forward and caught then its considered a forward pass which is ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NateDawg Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I’m not going to say this Ravens defense looks as bad as ours but I’m also not going to say it doesn’t look pretty rough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
