New Reviewable Illegal Forward Handoff Language

[TheKey]

So no leading the back with the ball into his spots?
Now wh(ich)at team(s) do(es) that?

Yes you can do that, because he’s behind the LOS and is an eligible receiver

I think I remember that. Wasn't it back in 06?

My wife would testify I was wrong about something this morning, all day yesterday, the day before...

I don’t think you are reading the rule correctly.

The rule states a player can hand the ball off forward while behind the line of scrimmage to an eligible receivers. RPOs shouldn’t be affected by this.

Yea this is a nothing-burger.

I can't think of a single play where this would happen other than sort of a lateral scenario down the field.

 

[Techsass]

Possibly. I have been wrong before.

When?

 

[Momanpr100]

Good.

 

[DallasEast]

When?

2016. No team has ever competed in or won a league championship with a rookie quarterback during the Super Bowl era. I thought the Dallas Cowboys would never be one of those franchises that gambled with such a rare opportunity while having a veteran franchise quarterback on its roster. Jerry Jones proved me wrong.

I can't for the life of me figure out what in the world this rule pertains to.
