Illegal field goal block?

[Mistashoesta]

Center was held down while the defender jumped over. Refs suck.

Exactly what I said when I saw it on replay

 

[GemCity]

Wow. Don’t notice that watching live..

Definite no-no

 

[Blitzhawk]

Actually, both DT's put both their hands and weight on both olinemans backs and push them into ground while the other guy jumps over the top. If that is not illegal it probably should be in the "spirit of safety" that makes the using other players to propel yourself in the air illegal.

Laken Tomlinson is ass btw. Until Haynes shows anything, we effectively have zero guards on the roster.

ITS OK!! WE'LL GET AN "IM SORRY" -- AGAIN -- FROM THE NFL!!!!!

Several said this in GameDay but…..


By rule is that actually illegal?

Or is that just considered a “block”.
Serious ?, IDK

Maybe a loophole?

 

[94Smith]

I’ve never seen that called before? Only the launch off the back

Might want to blame the right guy. It was the LS -#41 Stoll

Tomlinson is ass regardless.

Tomlinson is ass regardless.

I don't care about his veteran presence, @$$ is @$$ and they should not have @$$ protecting the QB.

 

[DarkVictory23]

I'll be honest, not sure what the actual rule is on this one.

Tomlinson was also face down in the dirt on this play.

 

[Mistashoesta]

I guess it's legal...

 

[Aircrew]

Same here.

 

[Mizak]

Well, if Macdonald says it’s legal, it’s legal.

 

[DarkVictory23]

I guess it's legal...

Pretty perfect summation of the season so far, for the team to go down by the opposing team pushing our offensive line face down in the dirt and literally going right over the top of them...

 

[Mizak]

The Seahawks special teams defensive front 7 should start practicing this from now on.

 

[DarkVictory23]

Ok, so I know there was a point of emphasis a few years ago about putting your hands on the head or neck of a long snapper while he was down in that position, but I'm not sure about the back/shoulder blades. It's not clear in the rule book as far as I can tell.

That said, MM's statement that it's legal to push down on the guard (who doesn't need to be as bent over as the LS) doesn't make it clear that it's legal to do it to the LS, so I'm still not sure if this wasn't a blown call.

I'll say it again *sigh*. The NFL is the most rigged sport in America. It just is, folks.
