The New Catch Rule
The New Catch Rule
What's everyone's thoughts on the NFL's new catch rule? I'm a little concerned that it causes more confusion and that it will result in more bitter fans..

Re: The New Catch Rule
How would he establish himself as a runner on all these catches where they're just falling

Re: The New Catch Rule
My understanding is that these "falling catches" where 2 foot touch the ground, but they don't establish a base (couldn't possible stand/turn and run from that position), are not going to count anymore. To me that takes away from some dramatic excitement in the game. Nothing better than when your receiver catches the ball in the air, in the end zone, and you have to watch the instant replay slo-mo to see if that second foot touched the ground before he went out..

"Bang-bang". This is just getting ridiculous.

Re: The New Catch Rule
Wow so if they don't make a running move following securing the football it's not a catch? Every sideline catch is not a catch anymore? Diving for a ball is not a catch? OBJs ridiculous catch his rookie year would not have been a catch...if they are taking away sideline catches and diving catches, the game is just going to get dumb.
Next NFL rule to be introduced: In order for a forward pass to be legal, a QB must first bounce the ball off a defender's head, catch and recover it cleanly, and take three steps. Then make a non-moving football move (like a Heisman pose), and he is then eligible to make a forward pass.

Re: The New Catch Rule
NFL is turning into the CFL season by season. I like your new rule though, makes it sound more like Gaelic Football (mix between Football/Rugby/Soccer).Valhalla wrote:Wow so if they don't make a running move following securing the football it's not a catch?
