Does two right feet, equal a catch

Two feed down is pretty simple

Ok. Lets say a WR stands in the middle of the endzone and catches a ball with one foot up. Doesn't move. Is it not a touchdown until the other foot is down? Of course it's a TD.

It is not a TD. If a defender comes and hits him and the ball pops out and hits the ground before the receiver puts his second foot down, that is the same situation.

Pittsburgh, wide receiver. Never gets his left foot down in the end zone.
But he does tap his right foot twice.
Imagine, This happened to us and they called it not a catch
2 feet down is a catch NFL rule. I don’t think it states it has to be a left and the right.

The NFL rule states the following: a player must touch the ground inbounds "with both feet or with any part of his body other than his hands.

It specifically says both feet and not 2 feet down.

Garrett Wilson appeared to
Have one foot down twice . They called it. A td.
Perhaps they think his shin touched

It was clearly the shin. That counts as a separate body part per the rules.

I am in agreement and was when I saw the play, hell if that right foot manages to be talented enough twice, it should offset the laziness of the left.

I had to look up that reference

I wouldn’t either except my wife wanted to see the movie about him waaaay back. Guess it’s a tell on how old I am.

The rule has always been you have to get “both” feet down. Getting one foot down twice isn’t getting both feet down.

Yep and the body part would suffice a hand, a knee ,a butt cheek, something from your body it is odd they allow that but they still want 2 feet but they'll take anything from the body which is only one part maybe the rule needs to go to college and just let it be control with one foot or something..

I know. By rule it isn't. But that's not what the 2 foot down rule was supposed to cover. It was probably not intended for odd situations like that.

Its either both right and left foot, or four hands.

The four hands is little known because its so rare

I have seen several plays where it was ruled a catch, and inbounds, when clearly it wasnt.
The reversed is also true, I saw one that was a catch, and when the guy turns to run ( a football move lol) the ball came out.
To me it was a catch and fumble, to them it was clearly incomplete.

Even the announcers are agreeing with some ludicrous calls, one where 1 foot, was half out of the endzone, half his foot was on the back line,
and they said td!! and that is was clear lol !

I think vegas not NY is making these judgements.

 

[gimmesix]

No. And if he kept hopping out of bounds it would be a touchback. None of those will ever happen though so the two feet is a good rule.

What if he was a one-legged receiver?

Why not read the rule first by yourself if you are not sure instead of spreading such nonsense ?

I know exactly what the rule is. All I’m stating is the players and other fans don’t I thought it was just an interesting story.

Too funny

Depends in the team

The fact that I cared enough to look it up tells mine.

Love the attitude

You love the nonsense. Admit it. That’s why you responded. Right up your alley or something.
