The issue is you have to maintain possession to the ground if you haven't already established possession and crossed the goalline. He caught the ball as he was falling into the endzone and then when he hit the ground Flowers stripped it. Sanders didn't get it back under control until he was out of bounds. That's not a catch.kylenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-12096821960340875972013-08-25T16:12:35.166-04:002013-08-25T16:12:35.166-04:00Sanders' catch would be a catch in the field o...Sanders' catch would be a catch in the field of play. The receiver can bobble the ball as long as it never hits the ground and he comes up with the it. <br /><br />Imho, it is ridiculous to have a different rule for out of bounds esp when the receiver clearly has possession of the ball with both feet down in bounds. I can see if a receiver is bobbling a ball on his way out and never has full possession, but that is not what I saw with the Sanders catch.<br /><br />adamgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-71130748045267005612013-08-25T13:14:37.794-04:002013-08-25T13:14:37.794-04:00The chop block call on Dwyer was bad.

He had the ball, went to the ground, bobbled it, and by the time he regained possession he was out of bounds. It was a good play by Flowers. And it was the right call by the crew.kylenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-6962463617381681142013-08-25T07:37:40.753-04:002013-08-25T07:37:40.753-04:00Triplett's crew was in mid-season form making ...Triplett's crew was in mid-season form making terrible calls. I hope someday the NFL decides what is and isn't a catch. If a wr can catch a ball, juggle it, but retain possession all the way to the ground like Sanders did, it's a catch in the field. He clearly had the ball and both feet down as he was going out of bounds, juggled the ball but never let it hit the ground and came up with it. The late hit call on Allen, who played very well, was bad, too.<br /><br />Surely hope Jarvis Jones is alright. The kid is a playmaker and the loose balls seem to find him when he's on defense.adamgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-42242619351092542522013-08-25T01:18:22.082-04:002013-08-25T01:18:22.082-04:00Timmons looked spectacular as always.

I remember when the Steelers drafted him ahead of Woodley, I thought they might have got it backwards but in the long run Timmons has been the more consistent star.<br /><br />On Special teams and late in the game Ventrone has made his presence known. I've said it before, I like the kid and I'm rooting for him.<br /><br />And finally, I like the way Felix Jones ran, especially considering he just got picked up. He tends to find the whole and get vertical much better than Dwyer who reminds me of Mendenhall when he hesitates.Steve-Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04777180013652920920noreply@blogger.com
