The Fumble Play

[botfly10]

The official rule is A fumble may be advanced by any player on either team regardless of whether recovered before or after ball hits the ground.

You need to keep reading. Cause a fumble cannot be batted forward inside the 2 min warning (which it wasn't).

Also, the play should have been called dead when Boykin just stood there. Thats also in the rules.

I never posted asking a question about the play... and you obviously know everything about everything since you have read the nfl rulebook lol

Sigh....

Not sure you understand. If you'd bother to actually look it up you'd see things are broken down so you don't have to waste your time looking through it. And guess what - you're posting in a thread about a discussion you had in regards to this play. My guess is you could have spent that time reading and understanding as opposed to posting. But what do I know?

You know so many NFL rules! I bet you are that guy at the bar that corrects the hot girl when she says something incorrect about football ....

If I was a FA on a 1 year contract, I would've had extra incentive to jump on the fuckin ball. A veteran like Anderson should have known better. As much as I disliked Smith, he at least taught them this all the time. Any defensive coach, especially on the NFL level should sear this into players heads, every practice.
