Yesterday the summer issue of Offical's Quarterly from the Fed arrived in my mailbox and in it is an article dealing with forward progress. The article deals with runners, forward progress at the pylon and also recievers.
"The same principles apply when a reciever jumps in the air, catches the ball, and before returning to the ground, is stacked up by the defense and driven backward. Provided he made a catch by rule, his progress is marked at that forward spot of advancement before he was driven back.
So is the writer saying he should get the 31 where he grasped the ball or the 30 where he was wrapped up?
