Agreed. He wasn't following ginn anyway. He was just sitting zone, it created no separation between him and Olsen either. But again, I've been drinking so I don't know.Bergs said:
Well, if you throw it out of bounds backwards, you lose even more yardage. If you throw it forward, there will undoubtedly be linemen downfield, so, penalty.
Interesting. I'm pretty sure that rule doesn't exist in the NFL, because I'm sure I've seen halfback pass plays and end around throws where the thrower has been praised for throwing the ball away rather than risk a terrible interception.westneat said:
edit: As Al Z said, ineligible man downfield is one possible result, but I think that would just be a 5-yard penalty which would be no worse than getting tackled for a 10 yard loss or so.
I think it is 5 yards. Oh, there wouldn't be a receiver near the sideline, so, grounding (unless he's outside the tackle box?).Dollar said:

The risk of fumble as the RB transitions from carrying the ball to a throwing motion while being tackled seems like a far too great a risk for the 3-8 yd loss. QB's can throw the ball away easier because they already have it in a throwing position and are very used to throwing it.
Because they would probably fumble a third of the time and there would be an illegal man downfield probably about another third of the time.GeorgeCostanza said:
It is an interesting thought that will never happen.
Edit:I swear I didn't see the replies that said pretty much the same thing I did, I was way behind.

I know. Can't believe they wasted picks on a washed-up, slow-as-ass, not-even-good-as-pass-catching-TE to fill out a roster spot.
In other words, I wouldn't trade Michael Williams for the corpse of Vernon Davis unless Niners threw in a 3rd rounder.
not sure if this has been mentioned, but why does gruden keep talking about IND turning their season around? IND is headed to exactly the place they always were, winning a shit-ass division and sucking against everyone else.

Davis isn't slow as TEs go, and Peyton will probably bring him back from near dead. Actually, Vernon had six catches yesterday. I don't like it as a Patriots fan.SeoulSoxFan said:
I don't care if it's the Pats or not. Just someone go undefeated through the SB just to sh*t on the smug mugs of the Shulas and all those old Dolphins, especially Mercury "Coke Is It" Morris.
