I am not 100% clear, and honestly, it doesn't matter at this point...wyoslick wrote:Somebody needs to review film of this play to determine if the zebras really blew the call. There are other issues to consider, besides whether or not DC informed the officiating crew before the game. The most critical may be, where did Arnold line-up before going into the set position? A player is required to be set "inside the numbers" that mark the field yardage before the ball is snapped. I was at the game and can't swear he was legally set.
Doesn't a player have to come in "past the numbers" then he can go wherever (as long as it is onsides, and not a subsitution, etc.)? From what I understand, Arnold came in "toward" the huddle, went past the numbers, turned around and ran outside the numbers to the sideline area, where he was left uncovered, and wide open. Oh well...
