Thus, your release downfield will not matter cuz you have no yardline to think about, just if contact occurs after the receiver is in his route. [/B]
There is a " 1 yard rule" and it pertains to when defenders make contact at the snap and within 1 yard of the NZ. If one of those quick passes is thrown at that spot, then you do not have DPI
