I've never heard of any significance to the 2 foot line.

REPLY: I believe that Mike used the phrase "two feet" not as a distance requirement, but rather as an indication that a player must have his two feet down in order to establish himself inbounds (vs. out of bounds). Just like when a receiver catches a pass near the sideline. He must have his two feet down inbounds to be granted the catch. Isn't that correct Mike? Wasn't that what you were speaking about?
