Probably/definately a gotta see it play.

But, what if the receiver and defender are running side by side along the sideline while the ball is in the air and the defender stumbles over a turf monster and trips - as he's going down he causes the receiver to trip?

Does it make a difference if the defender is behind the receiver?

What if only the receiver is looking for the ball? What if they're both looking?

The more I think about all the variables the more I think this should be DPI. If B slips in the mud it's hard to argue that he was making a play for the ball and he did impede A in his attempt to catch the pass.

(BTW - that's post 300 for me! Do I win anything?)
