It was actually your post, #101, that showed me the GROUND LEVEL view I was asking for... grrrr.... thanks. It's at the 9 second mark.
Does that override the football move rule, then?
There are FIVE football moves on this play.
#1 turning upfield. Caught the ball with his back to the sideline and turned 90 degrees upfield.
#2 switching the ball from the right shoulder with both hands to the left hand only. The ball is secure the whole time.
#3 lunging for the end zone
#4 Extending his arm for the pylon.
#5 Traveling 5 yards during #1-#4
This is all I know from what I heard and read yesterday regarding the rule in play. I think it was Pareira(sp?)
It doesnt matter he took 2-3 steps or switched hands because they took that as him coming down. They concentrated on did he make a lunge at the end and did he control the ball. They said if it was a lunge them the ball coming loose wouldn't matter. But they thought he didn't make enough of a move so then he had to finish the catch completely on the ground. I'm not going to pretend to know why they thought steps and ball in hands didn't count unless they took it as a falling forward vs a move like I stated to start in this thread.
