Title: More Hitting in the White
Post by: TXMike on December 23, 2012, 09:53:42 AM
Deja vu all over again..I just don't see how a guy can be excused for a hit in the white when his direction of movement and aiming point are clearly going to make the hit happen in the white.

Ditto

BTW     Why is the UIL sign inside the limit line?  Ain't that illegal?

4 feet in the white - clearly a foul

I'd like a sideline view to see if the push by White #18 added to his momentum.

Holy cow, how did two officials miss that one?

Looks to me like it's on the limit line.  The white one -there's also a yellow one a bit further back.

Not to pile on, but to learn from this play, I think the problem might be mechanics.

I don’t work on the line of scrimmage, but why is the H moving downfield at the snap, he has to stop and hop back to let the play get in front of him.  I thought that the LOS guys would take a step back into the backfield on a sweep towards them.

The S is awfully quick to get the ball from the ball carrier.  I don’t move for at least a count or two after the play.  Getting a ball can wait, flagging late hits can not.

This certainly APPEARS that the hit is out of bounds but I don't see how you all can be so definitive about this being a foul.  We're looking at a shot from the opposite sideline.  Both feet of the defender are in bounds.  It's really hard to tell where the runner actually is.  It is for me anyway.

The H moves downfield because he is responsible for the "belt area".  The belt is the area anywhere from the line of scrimmage to behind the Umpire.  Moving the H at the snap gives him a line of sight straight through the belt.  As for moving to the get the ball.  You are exactly correct.  Let the players separate and then we can get a ball in.

The lines do look a bit different than NCAA.  Was the game at Cowboys Stadium?  Is the field marked differently in the NFL?

H would move if he read pass, but with a run you are going to hold the line, if you run comes at you as in this play you would move back up the field to have a better view, and more importantly to keep your rear from getting trucked...

ditto that...no way H or L should be "floating" until they read pass...unless the are responsible for GL
