Zeke,
I think I've got to agree with you on this one. I dont have my rule book with me but I seem to recall something like "forward progress is the point of contact when the momentum rule is in effect". Basically, as long as the receiver holds onto the ball until he lands, he is given his furtherest point of progress if he is knocked backwards by the defender and downed there. If he is able to maintain his balance and then tries to gain more yards, then he is on his own.
