Video: The Gallup Drop

[jsb357]

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?

 

[Risen Star]

Yes. Nothing to see here.

 

[glimmerman]

Could have been a flag. But Gallup short armed that catch..

 

[USArmyVet]

No, during play no personnel are allowed on the white border lines and clearly this was missed by refs.

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.

Yeah, it's one thing to be standing in the white area, it's another to make a move like that.
Should have been a personal foul.
That said Distracted shouldn't happen.

ARTICLE 5. MOVEMENT ON SIDELINES.

Lateral movement within the bench area must be behind the solid six-foot white border.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Yeah should have been a penalty. That coach is a chump clearly.

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.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

One of those penalties opposing coaches have to alert officials to keep an eye on.

 

[Shane612]

Gallup probably didn't notice whoever that was.
He just flat out dropped it.

 

[Runwildboys]

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.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Expecting a call from the refs on that play is like expecting a stranger to give you the winning lotto ticket numbers. It ain't happening.

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

Yep, he T-Rexxed it. No excuses.

 

[Silverz1972]

Where is this guy.

 

[Silverz1972]

Gallup should have run into the guy to get the refs attention.

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.

True. And maybe they did after that play.

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