AR 9-1-6-IV AND –V: BLOCKING BELOW THE WAIST
The interpretations for adjacent sideline posted here recently have made it necessary to change two of the Approved Rulings for blocking below the waist on FI-48. Below are the corrected Approved Rulings 9-1-6-IV and –V. The changes are noted in RED.
AR 9-1-6-IV. A1, a flanker positioned to the left side of a formation, runs a deep reverse to the right side after receiving the ball from a teammate. A2, a spread end, at the snap is positioned 10 yards outside the snapper on the right side of the formation. A2 blocks B2, a defensive end, toward the LEFT sideline. The block by A2 is below the waist and occurs behind or one yard beyond the neutral zone. RULING: Illegal block. Penalty—15 yards. Enforce at previous spot if foul occurs behind the neutral zone.
AR 9-1-6-V. A1, a wing back positioned 5 yards outside tackle box to the right, goes in motion toward the ball before the snap. At the snap, his motion has taken him directly behind the snapper. After the snap, A1 blocks B2 below the waist toward the left sideline. RULING: LEGAL block.
Also, in Approved Rulings 9-1-6-I-VI the reference to Rule 2-23-1-i should be deleted.
