Mini Camp Wrap-up video.

My take on the reception by Bryant was that it was a touchdown. If you look closely he keeps his right hand under the ball so if it hit the ground it was incidental and wouldn't have negated the catch. He never lost control and as long as his hand was underneath the ball he didn't trap the ball. In the Calvin Johnson video his hand was not under the ball and he bounced the ball off the ground which is why it was overturned. (wrongly I think because it was already a catch)

Not a referee but that is my take.

TD

He never let go of the ball...

[TruCatzFan]

it's cool. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think I am. I agree that he never let go of the ball. The ball clearly hits the ground though with it in his hands... Is that not by rule an incompletion?

It depends. If when the ball hits the ground it moves in his hands or if the ball hits the ground with his hands on the sides of the ball or on top of it, it is ruled incomplete. If his hands are underneath it, it never moves, and the contact with the ground is simply incidental, then it is a catch.

At least that is how I have heard it explained by the officials.

definitely a TD

Because of that Johnson TD, not TD. The rule was changed. The ball cannot touch the ground. Don't know the exact rule, but the spirit is the same. You have to maintain control. And you loose control if the ball touches the ground.

My first take was great catch, no TD. They must like this guy, so this catch will only help his case. As long as he continues to make the catches, and run the proper routes, he has a chance to stand out. That, and doing the dirty work needed to prove he belongs on an NFL team. IMO, if he can harness his potential, he very well can become an absolutely beastly WR. Glad we don't have to rush him into action, and can just let him be himself.

Just a thought. And GOOOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Is it weird if the Kuechly INT gave me a boner?

You know how I know you're gay........JK I got a chub too. The future is bright boys!!

It depends. If when the ball hits the ground it moves in his hands or if the ball hits the ground with his hands on the sides of the ball or on top of it, it is ruled incomplete.

This was the case. I know I can't be the only one seeing this. I knew I shouldn't have said anything at all.

Never heard that. Got a link that things changed???

No his hand was underneath it and it didn't move. Still who cares, it was a great catch. Why make it a big deal???

Okay, I do believe I can see him keep his hands under the ball. So upon further review. I say that nasty MFer made the catch.

Just keep on doing that young man. Keep catching everything that comes your way.

[TruCatzFan]

I'm not making it a big deal at all, just trying to see what everybody else is seeing that I'm missing. No big deal. Like I said earlier... It's all good regardless. It was a mini camp pass.

[iamhubby1]

Any forward pass becomes incomplete and ball is dead if:

(a) Pass hits the ground or goes out of bounds. Although it did kinda look like he did have his hands under the ball.

( B) Pass hits the goal post or the crossbar of either team.

Gotta go, the wife just got home. And GOOOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

Kuechly has some killer instincts when it comes to the football.

Yeah i kinda have a weird feeling He and Dan Conner are not even in the same conversation...sarcasam... Dan Conner comparisons infuriate me.
