^^ kinda hard to take one seriously when all he keeps doing is changing the narrative while ignoring the real facts facts
especially when?? he spouted and admittedly denied rule 7(a) citing "it's not a rule in the NFL" yep, He said that then turns around and now stats that 7(a) is a pro rule, ah, and since he wants to get into the rule of dead ball from scrimmage, which cements a catch vs non-catch let's look at the whole thing shall
Item 1. Player Going to the Ground. A player is considered to be going to the ground if he does not remain upright long enough to demonstrate that he is clearly a runner. If a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass (with or without contact by an opponent), he must maintain control of the ball until after his initial contact with the ground, whether in the field of play or the end zone. If he loses control of the ball, and the ball touches the ground before he regains control, the pass is incomplete. If he regains control prior to the ball touching the ground, the pass is complete.
Item 2. Sideline Catches. If a player goes to the ground out-of-bounds (with or without contact by an opponent) in the process of making a catch at the sideline, he must maintain complete and continuous control of the ball until after his initial contact with the ground, or the pass is incomplete.
Item 3. End Zone Catches. The requirements for a catch in the end zone are the same as the requirements for a catch in the field of play.
Note: In the field of play, if a catch of a forward pass has been completed, after which contact by a defender causes the ball to become loose before the runner is down by contact, it is a fumble, and the ball remains alive. In the end zone, the same action is a touchdown, since the receiver completed the catch beyond the goal line prior to the loss of possession, and the ball is dead when the catch is completed.
Now it gets interesting please note the following
Item 4. Ball Touches Ground. If the ball touches the ground after the player secures control of it, it is a catch, provided that the player continues to maintain control.
last but not least
ARTICLE 4. INCOMPLETE PASS
Any forward pass (legal or illegal) is incomplete and the ball is dead immediately if the pass strikes the ground or goes out of bounds. An incomplete pass is a loss of down, and the ball returns to the previous spot.
5 items that state what a "Catch" in the NFL is?
Time to read between the lines and look at the words used
* IF the ball touches the ground before he regains control, the pass is incomplete.
* he must maintain control of the ball
* when a runner is out of bounds or declares himself down by falling to the ground rule 7(e)
* when a runner is contacted by a defensive player and touches the ground with any part of his body
other than his hands or feet. The ball is dead the instant the runner touches the ground. A runner
touching the ground with his hands or feet while in the grasp of an opponent may continue to
advance rule 7(a)
Oh, and did I mention the NFL admitted to rigging games?
