The hand isnt a part of the body, but the forearm is

So if the back of the hand touch the ground, its a fumble. But a lil higher on the forearm it isnt

Do they sit and actually think about these rules. Zod I hope this doesnt happen in a crucial game this season and it stays like that

Take this for what it's worth

http://trainathought.insidefootball.com/2009/08/observations-from-the-ref.html

As for the challenge by Coach Coughlin, a player in possession of the ball is considered to be down when any part of his body other than his hands or feet touch the ground. As the only part of the Carolina runner that touched the ground was his hand, he was considered still “up” and therefore he fumbled a live ball. This is the one exception to the rule that the “ground can not cause a fumble.”

So let’s take a hypothetical … DeAngelo takes a handoff from Jake and sprints around right end. The LB comes up and hits him low, knocking him off balance. DW manages to get his left hand down to regain his balance and takes 82 yards for an apparent TD.

Who's going to stand up yelling at the top of their lungs “BRING IT BACK, HIS HAND WAS DOWN !!!” ?

There are some fans who still don’t understand the rule on Smitty’s non-catch from the Dallas game a couple years ago even though, I believe it was Mike Carey, so eloquently explained the review.

Ridiculous
And yet, there it is.

Be glad this didn't happen to us during a regular season game.

Then again, we're facing the Cowboys this season and for whatever reason, there is always crap calls like that (not calling pass interference, roughing the kicker, complete pass that wasn't a pass).

Smith's 74-yard td against the texans in 07 is a good example of a play along the lines of what you are describing.

I have no problem with the call as it was made. The back of his hand, maybe the wrist hit the ground and nothing else was touching the ground except his foot. It was a fumble... maybe he'll learn to hold the ball close to his body and just fall, then if his shoulder hits first and the ball comes out, he's down.

Not necessarily (as I previously re: the Smitty play). A receiver has to maintain possession of the ball throughout the play.

The middle of the field is no different than the sideline where a receiver must have clear and firm possession of the ball before going out of bounds.

      Maxx Cosby deal with Ravens off.

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Having trouble finding all these articles saying the Raiders withheld information. Here’s the latest from Crosby’s surgeon: ElAttrache told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday morning that Crosby was "doing very well in the early part of his rehab and recovery from surgery to treat a significant meniscus tear and the related stress injury to the bone and cartilage in his knee. He is certainly on track in his planned program." "We truly respect the work of the Ravens' staff with Maxx regarding the contract physical exam. We also understand the challenge the staff faces when tasked to provide a future risk assessment based on an evaluation early in the recovery process," ElAttrache said. "This is especially challenging when dealing with an elite player like Maxx considering the level of commitment necessary for a team to obtain him. The timing of this assessment is unfortunate because the apparent risk will lessen as his recovery progresses and his return to performance over the next few months becomes clear."     So the Ravens excuse is the future risk assessment based on the physical, not that the Raiders withheld information. They found an excuse to save face publicly. They had the right to cancel the trade for no reason at all, but they’re trying to save face with the most acceptable reasoning they can find. I’ve heard and seen the Ravens getting dragged everywhere for this. You know what would be an easy way to put a stop to that if you’re the Ravens and the Raiders were actually the shady ones withholding information? Just come out and say that you were not given all the medical information. But they aren’t saying that. I guess they’re just taking the bullet for the Raiders just because?    Speculation indeed.

      Two first round picks for a guy with very questionable knees who will be 29 this summer. Yes it is safe to say the Ravens got cold feet.
