Looks like a Rams coach was clearly in the white line (safety area) area out of bounds.

Seem he was yelling at Gallup during the play

At the very least it was a distraction.

It that legal?




Nothing wrong with it outside of a dropped pass. Distraction? shouldn't be. WR must remain focused and watch the ball into his hands. That was a 3rd and 2 and should have been a 1st down. Gallup needs to make the catch unlike some I don't stay down on a player when they mess up because I know over the course of the game and the season he will make big plays as well. I would love perfection but do not expect it.

I'm curious how often the coaches are on the white border. I don't pay much attention to it at games, but if they are regularly on it, then I can understand why the officials wouldn't throw a flag. However, this was the perfect opportunity to enforce the rule since the drop happened right in front of a coach who was violating it.

Well he definitely wasn't looking at the coach, and as loud as it was, I doubt the coach yelled anything Gallup could have heard well enough to distract him. Technically though, it is a penalty for him to be on the line at all during a play.

Normally teams are giving a warning, Bottom line that catch needs to be made

Good rule find. But Gallup was dropping that whether that guy was behind the white line or not. He could have short-armed it because he thought the guy was a defender though. If that's the case, he should have pleaded his case to the refs. Have to know the rule though and I doubt he did. Coaches need to be on that type of stuff and you know ours never are like with that Butler substitution penalty in the playoffs at home against Green Bay.

100% believe Gallup short armed because he was preparing to get rocked
