Roughing the Passer

Here is one in the spirit of our former Commissar and Rules interpreter here in SC..True of False
It is possible to have Roughing the Passer without contact on the Passer.

TRUE.....The roughing the passer rule (9-4-4) includes those happenings from 9-4-3. Consider the following:

(1) "Springboard", the state's high hurdle champ, leaps over the QB blocking his vision as he passes (9-4-3d) 

(2) Tugboat pulls off his helmet and throws it at QB as he passes and trips him up (9-4-3f) 

(3) Bubba jumps on Tugboat's shoulders and blocks the pass (9-4-3e) 

NOTE: Yhere may be others but 'tis time to walk ma' hunting dawg.

If there is some form of illegal egregious act that puts the passer at risk I would say yes, TRUE.  But 99% of the time I would say no FALSE.

Ralph you are a true "thoughtsmith"! I would love to sit in on some of of your rules presentations. If I come up would I still need chains on my tires?

Chains (tires)in Maine are outlawed between May and October. This year's presentation will be short and sweet :

(1) Be true to your school colors (jerseys), not creative.

(2) All players, not just Monica, need knee pads.

Although some, might stubbornly proclaim to have exceptional vision, "Beauty" remains determined exclusively, in the eye of the beholder.
