    What are they trying to capture with this addition? The more I think about it the less it is necessary. If you have control and your feet are in play, why is anything else necessary?

    Interesting that they didn't take this opportunity to change it to only one foot in bounds. Much better rule IMHO.
    I assume they put that in for fumbles. If a move isn't required then there would be a lot more fumbles. Personally i'd prefer that but they don't.

      Correct. They used the Jesse James example in their video that it would be a touchdown under the new rules, but a fumble had it happened at mid field, as he wasn’t touched by a defender.

        I'm still not tracking.

        If the initial impact with the ground causes him to lose the ball that shouldn't be a catch (it isn't two feet down or body part). If he gets down and then fumbles that should be a catch and a fumble.

        The James play will be called correctly without the football move proviso. He has control and he has a body part down so it's a catch. The ball is in his hands extended over the goal line so it's a TD. Anything that happens after that doesn't matter.

          but on running plays, the ground can't cause a fumble. running back dives over the line, breaks the plane, then loses the ball, it's a td. receiver has to make a 'football move'? as I said, what if he goes way up in the back of the endzone, has possession, gets his two feet down, but does nothing else other than jump, catch, and fall to the ground? and then loses the ball.

          possession. broke the plane. both feet in. is that a catch? I say it is, but the new new rule says it isn't, cause no 'football move'. and here we are, right back where we started.
          What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

            What were they trying to capture when they made the initial change that caused all the problems? Was it a solution in search of a problem?

              Vikings would have been at home had the rule been in place last season all things being equal. No I'm not suggesting they would have won otherwise just having fun.

                  If the Giants send a full time psychiatrist they might have a deal.

                    If it's not, it's pretty dam close to the previous rule before all the additions.

                      Patriots trade WR Brandin Cooks to the Rams for the 23rd pick in the draft.

                        They also swapped 6th round picks.

                        If the Rams can sign him to a decent long term deal, quite the trade.

                        Will be interesting to see if the Pats, now with two first round and two second round picks, will trade up in the draft for a QB.

                                Low risk, I like the deal. RGIII is extremely talented, if his body can hold up at all.
