Randall Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 NFL has KRob going around end but it was a pitchout. I thought that was a pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBalata Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 It was clearly a backwards lateral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vet Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 A pass goes forward. That's why they call it a forward pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why they call it a forward pass. 1208298[/snapback] I know, but think a lateral should be one too because it isn't a handoff. It's a backwards pass.

Wolv Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 If the pitch breaks the line of scrimmage, then its a pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a backwards pass. 1208300[/snapback] All passing stats are for forward passes only. Laterals are backward passes and is a live ball (fumble) if it is not caught, plus more of those are allowed in the same play and no restrictions on when it can be done.

Big John Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 If the pitch breaks the line of scrimmage, then its a pass. 1208305[/snapback] Only if it goes forward, regardless if it crosses the line of scrimmage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 Only if it goes forward, regardless if it crosses the line of scrimmage. 1208309[/snapback] OK, yes shovel passes often don't break the line of scrimmage.
