Blandino on Ginn interception

I agree with the Peanut preseason play comparison.    NFL says if you are competing for the ball as you go down....whatever occurs will be the result b/c they don't view the contact to the ground being a catch yet

He took like 4 fuging steps before going to the ground.  At what point is a catch completed?  If Gronk slips and fallfalls in the end zone while spiking the football in celebration, is the TD going to be overturned because he didn't complete the catch since he didn't control the ball while going to the ground?

They need to clearly define when a catch is completed. This "while going to the ground" thing is muddy as hell.  The old two steps and aa football move" wasn't clear either but it was better than this mess.

Instead of reciting the rule book to us, Blandino should explain what Ginn needed to do for that to be a catch. And he should do that with every call like this that comes into question. Educate the fans rather than regurgitate the rule that no one understands.

Just my 2 cents.

Yeah, the general public doesn't know what a catch is anymore.  There are times we think we know, but when it comes down to a play like this, we all scratch our heads and look and each other and have to rely on the "experts" to tell us what happened.  It shouldn't be that complicated.  If the average fan can't figure out what a catch is, then the rule needs to be changed so it makes sense.

They are arguing that he went to the ground in the process of making a catch.... so he needed to maintain control.

That isn't what happened though; He caught the ball on the run and was tackled. Down by contact with ball in hands is a catch.

Exactly. He took 3 more steps after landing when he caught it. Clearly wasn't going down as he caught it so he didn't need to maintain control all the way through the ground. Either he's down by contact when his ass went down or it's a catch and fumble. No possible way it's an interception though. Even going by their ridiculous rules.

He cleanly caught the ball (no juggling), took a few steps and then was tackled, at which point a millisecond before (although replays shows it was after) his ass hits the ground the ball is stripped from him into the arms of a defender.  It may be an interception by following the fugged up rules as they are currently configured to the letter, but theres no way in hell that was an interception in real life.  Its either a catch and fumble or a catch and down by contact.

It appears to me the officials made a bad call, and now the leagues just covering for them.

If anything, that was a fumble, which I don't agree with either. But INT??...Ginn, had control IMO!

If that Ginn play's not called an INT, Eagles get blown out IMO.

The league's the one that made the call.  They control reviews from the replay center in New York.  You really can't blame any call made after a review on the officials on the field, other than the fact that their initial call made it harder for the call on the field to be overturned.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
