Twitter: Competition Committee says Dez caught it **merged**

[blindzebra]

Two feet down in the NFL occurs during the catch process. Thomas and Ertz’s feet never left the ground to make their catches. Their catches occurred with two feet down enabling them to turn up field and begin running which established them as runners. All these catches that have been overturned were due to the receivers leaving the ground to make the catch. Neither Calvin Johnson, Dez or Jesse James had two feet down during the catch process.

They left the ground during the catch process and began going to the ground in one piece, which under the rule required them to survive the ground with the ball. Your definition of what two feet down is couldn’t be more wrong. You continue to prove you don’t understand any aspect of the rule. You don’t know what going to the ground is and you don’t know what two feet down is in relation to the rule.

Care to show a rule that says jumping doesn't count as two feet?

Let's go back to the Seattle game in 2014, by your logic Williams never got two feet down on that sideline throw where he jumped and toe tapped, that should have been incomplete because he went to the ground after jumping so those feet don't count.

Like a breath of fresh air, isn't it?

Can you believe the crap these guys come up with?

Go read the 140+ pages of the other thread and get back to me. I'm not discussing rules again with the uninformed. Marcus is doing fine.

And I find it numerous that the emotional blowhards here seem to think 99.9% of fans think they blew the call. Polls were done at the time and the majority of fans actually think they got the call right. But carry on.

I find it “numerous” the only person getting emotional here is you.

The best part is the so-called uninformed are the ones who introduced him to the rule and case book, and got him to acknowledge that his original stance was incorrect that nothing ended going to the ground.

Damn, missed that one too.

Tbh, @Idgit has more numer in his pinky than anyone else here. He’s a regular naugh a minute.

I wonder if we will ever get an answer as to why Blandino said two feet and a reach ended Item 1 on the Thomas catch. You know the one where there was no gather, no regaining of balance, and no lunge.

If you're talking the intentional kind, I agree.

In Spanish, you'd say "No les conviene." English doesn't capture it that well.

You’re using Williams catch against Seattle as an example of the rule? He caught the ball with control, tapped both feet in bounds and held the ball all the way through the ground. Lol How is that similar to any of these controversial plays? Go find a play where a receiver jumped in the air to catch a pass and as both feet hit the ground, they fell to the ground, lost the ball as they contacted the ground but it was ruled a completed pass. Good luck!

You were the one who said a player jumping means that the feet don't count, Williams jumped, Dez jumped, Willams had control, Dez had control, Williams had 2 feet in, Dez had 2 feet in, Williams went to the ground, Dez went to the ground...yeah completely different.

 

[BlindFaith]

Obviously, "goes to the ground" means the same thing in Item 1 as it does in Item 2.

The player's body hits the ground, right?

What's your point? Did you finally find something you understand?

 

[HungryLion]

The only reason Dez even lost control of the ball is because he made a football move or a “move
Common to the game” and reached for the goal line. After he established possession of the ball with both hands.

You’re dying a slow, agonizing death in this thread as you do in all these threads and it’s hilarious to watch. Lol Two feet on the ground after a receiver has leaped and come down with the ball doesn’t establish anything if they’re going to the ground and don’t survive the ground. Twill made the catch and survived the ground. You’re absolutely losing it.

Cite a rule saying so.

Rules, he don't need no stinking rules.

Item 1: If a player's body hits the ground in the act of catching a pass...

Dez Bryant. Green Bay. Where does Item 1 come in?

Prepare for he did not regain balance, gather, or lunge because that is the only way to end Item 1, regardless of what Blandino himself said about the Thomas catch.
