What does 7-3-9-d have anything to do with it?
for example, assume that you have a receiver blocking downfield, pick play or similar. You're waiting to see if a legal forward pass is thrown and crosses the LOS. It does and you throw for OPI. Then the pass is tipped or otherwise touched. Do we interpret 7-3-9-h to mean that if an action that constitutes PI occurs before the touch that the PI call will stand (anything after cannot be PI) or does it mean that once a ball is touched, that any PI that was called before and after the touch is waved off (specifically before for this discussion).
I realize that this is a much shorter time period for DPI as the restrictions start when the ball is thrown, not at the snap as it is with OPI, and the time between when the ball is thrown and the time it is tipped is usually quite short unless it is a very long pass.
In other words, on 7-3-9-h, does the word "after" imply that PI is only off during the time period 'after' the ball is touched or does it mean that 'after' the ball is touched, all PI restrictions at any time during the down are off?
