Jimmy Graham catch somebody Please explain!!!!

RednibKram · 12-12-2011, 09:19 AM

From the NFL Rulebook: A forward pass is complete when a receiver clearly possesses the pass and touches the ground with both feet inbounds while in possession of the ball. If a receiver would have landed inbounds with both feet but is carried or pushed out of bounds while maintaining possession of the ball, pass is complete at the out-of-bounds spot. By this very definition, his catch should have been ruled a touchdown as his heal clearly came down inbounds and only due to his forward momentum from being pushed by the defender did his "cleat - and only his cleat" manage to touch a blade of white grass. Saints should protest this call and claim the extra 7 points they were cheated out of!

The only problem with this is that this is an old rule. The rule now states that if a guy is pushed out of bounds while in the air or whatever as he is catching the ball and he lands out of bounds because of that push...

then he is out of bounds.

believe me I want to agree, and I wanted that touchdown, and I thought they were crazy too. Bobby Hebert agrees with you, so I like that opinion even more.

fun stuff.
