NFL rules question: Leaping

[11thEagleFan]

So what's the rule on this on FG tries? Is this only a college rule?

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

It's illegal if you touch a player. He cleared everyone.

Don't know, but Mullen needs to be fired for that play

 

[ShrubDog]

Dude stepped out

 

[00Dawg]

Why even have replay?

That has to be one of the worst misses since the system was introduced.

Shouldn't have mattered though bc broncos pushed down on snapper... illegal

[RocketDawg]

Can't tell if he's in or out from that angle.

Still can't tell. Kinda looks like he's standing on tippy toes so his shoe may not be touching the white line. You'd need a shot straight down the line, or ever better, 180 degrees from where this one is.

Exactly. You can leap over the snapper, but you can't touch him at all. If you barely brush him, its a penalty.
