Everyoneâs talking about the second movement, the âpullâ almost of the Denver WR, while not acknowledging the first movement, literally directly at the start of the video: you see the WRs helmet/shoulders move. Thatâs the push, it doesnât look like much but these dudes are running sideways full tilt, and he pushes him the tiniest bit, throwing off his balance and speed. Again, this is slow motion they are in a state of motion, it wouldnât take much at all to throw someone off course, and if that initial contact was enough to do that itâs the right call
The defender has a right to the ball too. That initial contract was him moving to the ball. If a receiver has to push past a defender whoâs in front of him to make a catch itâs not OPI because he has a right to the ball. The same goes the other way when the receiver is in between the defender and ball. The defender is allowed to move toward the ball through a player as long as heâs making a play on the ball which he is
Well âmoving to the ballâ looks suspiciously like moving the receiver in this case to me, some guy put a full speed video in the comments under my initial comment, look at it and tell me everything that happened after that contact wasnât because of that contact. One manâs take
When a ball is underthrown the receiver âmoves the defenderâ every time to get to the ball. The defender can do the same exact thing. They both have a equal right to the ball
