Don't know if this was already posted or not, but thought it was an interesting explanation...

I don't even have to watch the video.

At first I thought the play should've been dead, but because our guys tried to push him forward and they did, forward progress was never halted, thus a fair play.

Re: Video: NFL Official Review Forward Progress Call

Eisen brings up a good point about Lewis picking him up. But with the Bills pushing forward for the extra yards, its really an open and shut case.

I also would like to have heard the explanation on the Corner pick.

Re: Video: NFL Official Review Forward Progress Call

Um guys, there is an explanation of the Corner pick. However, they didn't talk about the "carry out" or the PI.

Re: Video: NFL Official Review Forward Progress Call

If you watch the video, they lead off with the explanation of the Corner pick.

It's pretty much what we all knew already; you have to get your feet on the field of play - not an opponent that happens to be in the field of play.

Before the linemen pushed him forward he was picked up and stopped moving.

The whistle could and should have blown before the linemen even got involved.

His momentum did stop, for a good second. That's asinine to say he didn't.

Same thing that's been said, two feet (or two parts of the body) have to come down in bounds and coming down on a player doesn't count.

The way I look at it is a pass can be defended by keeping the receiver from coming down in bounds now so in essence Corner became the receiver, Boldin became the defender and forced the reception/INT to occur out of bounds.

The elbow coming down in bounds never even come up in the discussion, or the offensive pass interference for that matter.

Re: Video: NFL Official Review Forward Progress Call

the rule is very murky due to the fact that it doesn't specify how long forward progress must be stopped to blow the play dead.

We can't fault the officials for allowing the forward shove/progress to take place in my opinion, it happens all the time, but what bothers me is the gang lifting of the ball carrier before the ball is ripped out by probably one of the strongest players in the NFL.

Ray Lewis will remember how he took matters into his own hands and pulled out a victory, and he will keep it in his arsenal for future reference.

Well.

If our linemen didn't try to push him forward, then it would've stopped for sure.
