a. Roughing Passer
b. Personal Foul on B47
c. Penalties will offset
d. Illegal Forward Pass
The clinic says it is a. How is it not roughing the passer? As far as I can tell from the rule book, this is covered in rule 7.5, i.e.:
Looks good to me from the above play.
Again, looks good. None of these events apply to the original play.
Thus, A15 is a passer, and the contact by B57 is roughing. Am I screwing this one up?

Once he crosses the LOS, I do not think he can run back and throw a pass. That is the problem and why he is not a passer.
