Assisting the Runner Penalty

[DarkVictory23]

Do they actually call this 'point of emphasis' or don't they?

 

[Torc]

I don't think I've ever seen that called.

 

[JPatera76]

why would they call this against a brady team leading a very shit division

 

[sutz]

They don't call that any more.

Saw it call in a college game yesterday

Can’t recall ever seeing it in NFL

They said yesterday the rule is that you can push a runner forward but can’t pull them forward.

 

[seabowl]

Only if you pull the runner can it be called

 

[sutz]

You mean like that Buc was doing a couple of plays ago?

 

[andyh64000]

Only if you pull the runner can it be called

Which is exactly what happened, he was literally carrying the runner.

 

[pmedic920]

Only if you pull the runner can it be called

Yea that’s what we are talking about, it happened

I think most of the “pulling “ was after the whistle though
